The seated coin ended up being counter stamped with a name and address.

Ben F WYANT

any thoughts on this??

Perhaps Ben F Wyant hid his coins at this address? Maybe you should check it out?

Believe it or not, those counter-stamped coins from that era can be worth significantly MORE than the same coin with no original counterstamp. It was a way to promote your business back in the day, and there are specific collectors of counterstamped coins. I have a shield nickel from around the same era that has a counterstamp on it. I'll try to get more info on your coin if you'd like, I know a guy who specializes in this kind of thing.
