And off course they decided to cover part of the date.
Heathens.
No respect.
But the hole does give it a personality that the unholed ones lack.
Congrates and Kudos!

Congratulations, why the heck would someone drill over the date? Man that's a mean trick.

Even with the hole in the date, just the fact that you broke through to the 1800's is awesome! Congrats, I have yet to do so!

That's one awesome way to enter the 1800's. It's not everyday someone finds a seated dime. In 4 seasons I only have one. Congrats on a killer coin!

A beauty for sure. The hole ruins the coin. Why don't you just send it to me and I'll send you a nice shiny new 2015 dime w/o a hole. [emoji2]. Excellent find

Wtg on your first 1800's. Only 1800's silver I have is English, so I would like your dime with or without the hole.

That was a trange place to hole one to wear on a chain.Still is great to break the time barrier to the 1800's . THE THIRD WORD is strange ouch.The oldest coin I have found this entire year has been an 1906 o Barber dime.

That's awesome. I'm jealous of the hole - I've never once found a holed coin!

Congrats

Very nice find,, seated coins are treasured finds. If I find any coin that has been holed, I now want to know if it was done to make jewelry, a love token, or because the coin was worthy of being worn around one's neck. I don't wear much jewelry but I might make an exception for a seated.dime
