1888 Seated Liberty Dime

I went back to the tree farm today and found an 1888 Seated Liberty dime. It is well worn and has a black patina on it. But it is all mine and I was happy to find it. I also found a 1955 wheat but it isn’t the double die. I still have a lot of acreage to cover. I think all the years of chemicals for the tree’s has caused the black patina / buildup problem. I am using a sonic jewelry cleaner on it.

Congrats on a very nice find! I've found that those kind of places aren't kind to silver or copper.
