Dug My First Seated

[joe_dirt]

I found this 1854 Seated Half Dollar recently in the backyard of a home I believe was built in the 1940's, but we were finding flat buttons and other signs that there was something there earlier than that. Thought I'd post it since it's the first Seated I've ever dug.

Spectacular! Not only did you find seated, it was a Arrows type half dollar. Not only is it a half dollar, but a REALLY nice one. Way to go and congratulations!

Thanks for all the comments/replies! It was certainly a nice surprise to see it come out of the ground.

It was right around 5".
