1858 Seated Liberty Dime

[bedpanmoneyman]

Joined SoreKneesDayton and Jeff to hunt an old field today. We all headed in different directions, I headed north. Found a 1977 Kennedy Half in the first hour along with some clad. I finally got a whisper signal VDI of 92 in a modified coin & jewelry program. I really had to work the coil over the spot to get it locked into the target....about 6 inches down. The ground was mostly small gravel and sand, almost like fill, and after digging about four inches down, the signal became much stronger. I used my lesche to loosen the soil around the edges of the hole and when I pried up I saw a glint of silver. I brushed away the gravel and there she was, sitting pretty. The seated liberty dime (my first ever) was an 1858 O in really good condition I did a happy dance....no one saw it thank goodness.
Thanks for looking.

Anything "seated" is a great accomplishment

Thanks for all your comments. It was certainly a shock...never thought I'd find a seated dime that old and since it was stamped in New Orleans, only 290,000 were ever minted.
