Seated Half - Seated dime - 1867 shield nickel sandwich!

[Scrappy]

I went for a hunt today, and wandered over to the "new" section where I hadn't hunted much. Glad I did

I got a choppy high signal on my CTX at a very shallow depth 3". Thought it was a shoddy clad schwag quarter, but when I dug in I couldn't find the darn thing. Rescan and it's still there. Finally at 7" down I see a coin pile and thought clad again. but then I noticed the big coin and thought hey, maybe this is standing half...look at them Sa'miches!pried 'em apart.

I saw the writing and said Barber Half baby! And then...yeah I wiped it, so what! 1871-S Seated Half!!!

Cleaned up partially, will clean more tomorrow. The shield nickel is a 1867 without rays. back together again!

I'm very excited about this find. Aaaaaand the Seated Half puts me at, drumroll...100 silver coins for the year. Phew!!!

I love this hobby. Happy Hunting everyone!

Thx Evo. The coins were welded together with 130 years of corrosion. I had to pry them apart. An absolutely fun find for me.

Definately my first seated half. I got the rest (sans the bust and earlier) but thought this one would always elude me. I lined up all the halves series I've found and they're sitting next to me right now.

Thanks George. Now get your Arse over here and find some stuff!!

Thanks Abe. All I wanted to find here was a seated dime. After finding that plus a half at once is more than I could ever ask. Crazy hobby we had huh?!

A real bummer. I was so upset there were no rays that I almost threw the other coins in the garbage. Lol. Thx
