Went out today and dug this on the very first hole. Was in an area where dirt had been pushed over an embankment. I think this may be one of the best coins I have ever dug. Ive dug a lot of large cents us and colonial but not many old US silvers. I'll take it !
Any guesses on what you think it would grade?

No joke. But sometimes we don't think about that. I had just started this hobby and within 2-3 months I found an 1870 seated full silver dollar.

Being new to this forum I didn't know to think about the headline- so my find got very little attention. Had I titled it right- it should have been up top IMO.

I don't come on here every day- but I have still not seen another seated full dollar and it has been 3 years.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I found a nice coin a few months ago and didn't receive top-nod, even with a flood of votes. It was an unfortunate circumstance, but didn't make the find any less rare. Anyway, just saying I feel ya!

Not to get off topic... I just came back to drool again. :notworthy:
