I'm scoring allot of "my first" this year/season. I found a 1850 Seated Dime in one of my soybean fields, just before finding that I dug a 1939 Merc first, then a , what I think might be a Classic Head Large Cent. The Seated was relatively deep (what I call deep) about 9 or 10 inches, it rang perfect, a 4-way 91. The Merc and the Large were about 5 inches each sounding great, both perfect 4-way 93. All three times I felt like doing a video but in the same breath I didn't feel like taking off my gloves (haaa) If my copper comes out where I get some good pix I"ll edit and add them later.
Here is a link to my Seated Dime.

Enjoy the pix ( a couple of the closeups are done, both inside, one of each side in my hand, and one of each side on my knee) (It effects the lighting, one makes it look darker, the other makes it look shiny) The best light is natural sunlight for pix!

update/edit This is my first Seated Liberty Dime, not my first Seated Liberty coin, I have found Half dimes, Quarter and counterfeits. Just in case anyone is counting, haaaa lol

It's been soooo long since that dime has been in the sunlight!
Now it's in the limelight, it looks good, no wear on it at all, the obverse even has a sliver of wire edge on it, it sure didn't circulate very long!

Thank you

Nice find!
Thanks

Just in case there is any confusion, I had never found a Seated Dime before today. I have found two Seated Half Dimes, a SeatedQuarter, a Seated contemporary counterfeit quarter and a Seated contemporary counterfeit Half.
Just not a Dime until today

Good deal Brad!! Mint worker must have dropped the seated..
I felt lucky to see a Seated come out of the dirt, but man when I got to the car and rinsed it with distilled water then looked with my loop. I gasped, could not believe my luck!
One of these days, early American silver. Thanks Ken
