I have been waiting to post this coin until I found a seated coin with my detector. That finally happened this week, so here is my eyeball find. I found it walking a plowed field about 10 years ago. Hard to believe I saw it, but I did. I have not been back to that field with my detector, but you can bet I will get there. Hope you like.
Regards,
Jon Dickinson.

Not hard to believe really, I spot the odd tiny roman on the top. My eyes are just drawn to them without trying, hard to explain but the just jump out at me :icon_thumright:

Awesome find! :thumbsup: A buddy of mine eyeballed a 1870's seated dime in his dad's yard about 30 years ago, just laying there in the thatch of the lawn.
