Got an 1874 Seated dime and what is probably my favorite coin from this field so far a counterstamped 1856 Seated dime in nice shape too. Also got five indians including a key date 1870. A sterling pin, philadelphia rapid transit button, plated ring and a strange token rounded out the finds. Getting colder this week so gonna give the field and myself a break for a while.

The WCTU on the pin must stand for the Womens Christian Temperance Union. It was founded around the time of most of the coin finds here

I always like seeing counter stamps !
Adds a whole other dimension to a coin, sets it apart and transforms it into something different and special!

Rare to see a dug counter-stamped Seated, sweet!
Can you tell what the marking is between the first and second letter?
