I dug this up last week. I'm always happy to recover silver, and I'm super happy to dig anything seated because they are rare as hens' teeth in my corner of the world. On top of all that, this is the second oldest coin I've ever dug (with the oldest being an 1863 half). Sadly, someone has carved a very crude hole through this coin, destroying 99% of any collector value. I didnt even look the coin up in the guides until just now and see that only 10,500 were minted!! Its pretty well worn, so at least its not like a ruined $3000 variety, but would have been at least $200.
