One twisted seated lady!

[Silvermonkey]

I was lucky to get out detecting for a few hours today. My first site yielded a fist full of shotgun shells, and one older metal button ( non fancy). Switched over to a newer site that has produced 4 slivers and a number of wheats from the 1940's-1950's. I was surprised when a seated dime popped out. Wow- Has she seen some better days... twisted does not begin to describe her shape...stomped on, mangled. and cracked ( yes you can see like through one portion), but the date is undeniable- 1888. After finding the dime, I then found seven wheats , spanning the 30's-50's. Then the rain started in earnest. I'll post an update if anything else significant comes out of this site. HH.

Your dime was in fine condition before it got mangled.I can read the liberty plainly on it.

Congrats on digging the seated. I can take you right to the spot I dug mine back in 2014. It's the only one that I've dug. Sounds like you have a good site.

Don't worry, you can only display one side anyway! And the good side is still in great condition. Nice work

Congrats on rescuing that dime.
Seated coins are very hard to come by in any condition,
