Do you ever just stare at a find in disbelief(cleaned up pics)

Myself and my neighbor went to an old property today. The house was built in 1913 and had a nice yard. We got to the place and it started raining .After an hour of waiting I fired up the etrac and started hunting. I was doing pretty fair.After an hour I had 2 mercs 1917 and 1934,a 1903IH a buff and several wheats. I found a pontiac tokin which was cool then finds started drying up.
I worked my way around the yard and under a large pine tree I got what I thought was going to be a clad quarter close to the surface and a large silver disk came to light. I thought cool a walking liberty .I handed it to my wing man to wash off . He came around the corner with a big smile and said "you just paid for the trip".
1877 seated half! Last week I found my first barber half and this week a seated.
Got to love this hobby!!

I haven't, lately. But, I did fall over backwards and almost laugh myself to death when I found half of an old war nickel. LOL (look up the old post )

A WONDERFUL old coin has been salvaged. Thanks to you! Good job!

HH!

That's a beautiful half! Great job!

Nice!!! I think baking soda and water rubbed onto that silver should get that black stuff off. Only if you want it real shiny.

Oh MANNN That is just incredible! What do you think it was worth in today's money? Maybe a week's pay? More? That is so so great!

 

[birdman]

Bev, not sure what it would be graded at but I would say F or XF. Maybe $30-$90 dollars may be.
