1847 seated half found in box......

[Chicago Ron]

I just got off the phone with a friend here in chicago. He was very excited because he got 15 keepers from a box. He listed them off "11- 40%, 4 90% ken, a 63 franklyn and a 47. Dramatic pause. An 1847 SEATED HALF the coin is in nice shape except for the hole someone drilled in it.
I'll try to get a pic when I see him on Sunday.

Just thought I'd pass it along. THERE OUT THERE!!!!!

Wow, that is one nice fine. I thought my Barber Half was great but a Seated Half is in another dimension!

That is incredable. You are correct they are out there, a friend of mine found one a few months ago.

1847 Seated....just amazing!! Rarely do you see a Barber. Tell you friend congrats.

That's miraculous. That find is going on my list of greastest coin roll hunting finds. Here are a few others to make you drool and feel inferior. A customer at work today told me that he found a flying eagle cent back in the 80s. 4 years ago a man found a 1909-s vdb penny in a bag he bought from an old farmers' bank. My uncle found a 1955 double die penny while metal detecting on the beach. He still has it. But a seated half? That's so old! Truly amazing. If that coin could talk...

Don't complain, I'm still waiting for my first Ben !!!!! But I'm sure he is going to be out there in a roll with a lady and a barber.
