Just went out in my yard for an hour or so and pulled an 1875 S seated liberty 20¢ coin. The pics don't do it justice the details are amazing.

That's great! Something really good about back yard finds too. It's like you've been walking over them for weeks months or years and always wondering where a good place to go detect would be and bam you're on it.
 
You don't see many of those posted. Congrats on a great find! :occasion14:

Just found that out. Honestly never knew they existed. Wish I could get better pics for my phone. Every detail is perfectly clear.
 
Nice find, congrats on a beauty!
 
That's a BANNER find Amigo ! They do show up here but rarely !! (look at the mintage numbers ) Nice Find !
That one should look great up there (larger close up pics will help !) When I first posted this response I was
rather unsure about certain rules as to how long you have to be a member here to be allowed a banner vote ,
after considerable searching I've come to believe that there is no membership duration required - If I'm
mistaken about this someone please educate me . You got my vote !

I definitely agree with Argentium. I'm going to vote banner as well due to the rarity of the coin. Sweet find! Congrats! :thumbsup:
 
Great find, use a loop on your phone lens, check your camera settings on your phone, borrow a camera that has macro capability, all i phones have macro, borrow one of those...... You have to get us better pix ha lol

GREAT FIND!

Those attachments aren't linking properly for me. But it doesn't matter. That's a banner all the way! A very rare find. I've been here for a few years, and can't remember seeing one up there since I've been a member. It's definitely on my bucket list.

My vote is in! BANNER!
 
You got my vote! Unbelievable find, in that condition.
