Beautiful Seated Dime and a 1941 Mercury

[pteal]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...









I found these in someone's yard yesterday. They were the only two old coins that I found there. No wheat pennies or anything else. I only had an hour to detect though, and the owner said that I could come back to finish detecting when I have time.

The seated dime is my first 1800's silver. I wish that I could pull a date off of it, but it looks pretty toasted to me.

Nice finds. I would get back there ASAP.
Any ideas on the best way to clean that seated dime?

Great finds, sorry about the burnt seated dime. Seated coins are one of my favorites!

Thanks for the info Relic Lover! I didn't think I'd be able to narrow the date down that much.

Based on my Seated finds, I'm starting to think that they just minted them that way.
