With a date that is....1891 !:headbang:
I found 2 smoothies years ago in Ft. Myers, thin little wafers with only a shadow of Lady Liberty.

I had this bright idea to scan under the ski lifts today.... that was a fail.

So I ended up back at my Pandora permission, hit an area near the woods where I hadn’t been before, out pops this beauty.

She’s kinda rough, but no complaints here.

Nice looking coin Dave. For some reason I struggle finding Seated silver. Despite finding hundreds of Indian Heads and Large Cents that were in use during the same time that seated coins were circulating, I have only ever found 4 Seated Dimes in 30+ years.

Fan DIME tastic!

I finally dug my first seated dime on Thanksgiving day 2017. It's an 1883 and not as nice as that 91 you got. grats!
