Re: Big Silver~oldest silver& first silver half

Great coin, Goldnuggets!!! Seated coins don't show up too often for us "Left Coasters", and a half makes it a major find. I called Richard while you guys were still hunting, and he told me that you'd just found it. Congrats, you'll remember that one for the rest of your life.
