Seated Dime Today

[pointdlr]

I found this 1853 dime today behind a school that dates to the early 1900's. I am thinking there may have been another school on the grounds that was earlier. I found it at about 5" underneath some sand fill on a soccer field. I found a little pile of wheat pennies, and an indian head also. Every coin was in the same place. They sat right at the level where the sand fill stopped, and a very hard clay like dirt began. Condition is decent for a 156 year old coin. I'll take it.

Thanks for all the posts. I have watched and read this board many times, and seen the post of the seemingly random seated coin find. I never thought I would find one in the location I found it, so I guess I got my random one.
