FINALLY! my first seated....1856 half dime

[postalgriff]

just got back from a short hunt with my brother near Jackson, Michigan. Dug this 1856 half dime at 4 inches. said thank you to the Almighty, and didnt care if I dug anything else. obtained permission at a random house that was near a college site in the mid 1800's and do have permission to go back :-). my brother eyeballed a 1893 IH on top of the ground on the crest of a hill that was kinda gravely (his first 1800's coin) couple of lantern peices and part of a harmonica reed. Also, a clock face that looks like someone practiced inscription on it. thanks for looking all. Griff

WTG on the hald dime. Check your lantern knob for a patent date. They are usually marked on the outside of the knob.

WOW ~ that's a sweet Seated Liberty Half dime! CONGRAT'S!!

My first seated was a 1868-S Half Dime ~ I dug it on Super Bowl Sunday 2007! I've only dug one other Seated coin since that day!

Congrats! I dug a couple of those this year as well and they are one of my favorite coins. Hopefully that "random" spot will give up some more hidden treasures yet.

It's good to start "small" and work your way up! Your next Seated should be a dime... Nice find!
