1876 Seated Half dollar my best U.S. coin ever..

johnnyblaze · Apr 17, 2011

Got out late today around 4 o clock with my buddy at one of his new spots.
Started off a little slow and i got a 1910 V nickle..
So i decided to wonder a bit and seen a old colonial wall that ended..At the end i started getting alot of small iron hits so i knew there was activity.. :thumbsup:

Right in the iron i got a slight tic...
When i flopped the plug this baby flipped right out of the hole in front of me on the eagle side...
Expecting to see the Barber head on the other side when i flipped it over i was shocked

My best United States coin to date..
