Are You Seated For This?

[enamel7]

Got my usual 6 boxes on friday. Didn't have time to search them myself, so the wife had the honors. I've found 3 Barbers so far, but this was totally unexpected.

Happy Hunting!

WOW, even with the hole she's a beauty, big congrats! Is there a mint mark or did the hole obliterate it?

 

[enamel7]

Hi Immy.
Couldn't see one. Good to chat with you again. I've been mostly reading the post lately and not reporting.
I have another coin from the 1800's I will post tomorrow.

Happy Hunting!

I'm still looking for my first FRANKLIN, much less anything earlier than that.

Nothing earlier than a 1964 in Halves. And 34 skunks in a row. 2 more coming in next week, but I don't do many boxes now. It just doesn't pay. I keep getting a few, in hopes, but 34 in a row REALLY sucks.

(I also get boxes because it ends up getting me loose rolls too. The banks know I want all halves, so when some come in I get them. I HAVE found some silver Kennedy's in that. Just not in the boxes)

Pennies still work best for me. Lots of copper, some wheats, and a rare IH at times.

Congratulations to you enamel!!! . That is a big time pick up there! Hole in the head or not, it's nice to get a seated. Hell, just imagine who the person was that started drilling the hole, and for what reason was he doing it? There is history behind the hole if you think about it. Gives it some character! He wasn't using a Dewalt to drill that hole! Good luck to ya! Gpurs...

Great find E!! It still has alot of detail for a 150 plus year old coin. It still amazes me that coins that old are still being found. Congrats to you and the wife. I am sure she was very excited to pull that one.

I'm still looking for my first Seated.......maybe one day.

Good luck on the next search.
