Well, it’s been awhile since I found something really worth sharing and here it is. Unbelievable that it’s in the condition it is. Florida sandy soil...8 inches down, loud banging and a 33-34 on the nox. Of course I thought it was trash but we found a few Indians a week earlier, so dig everything. Must have been dropped soon after being minted, and the detail is pretty bad ass. It was marred on the back but not by me.. A bucket lister for me for sure. The first and only half I’ve ever found. Going to be hard to go from up..Thanks for looking

Congrats. Doesn’t get much better than a seated half as far as US silver coinage goes

Congrats on the seated half. I have found a lot of half dollars, but never a seated.
