Found an 1878 Carson City seated dime today!

[FreeBirdTim]

I don't usually post my finds here, but I do a lot of posting in the general discussion forum. I'm going to make an exception today for this coin!

Never found a coin with a Carson City mint mark in ten years of metal detecting here in Rhode Island, which makes sense. But today I broke the dry spell with an 1878 cc seated dime! Tough coin to find anywhere, with a mintage of only 200,000. Damaged copies are selling for $90 to $250 on eBay. Not going to sell it, though. Hopefully, there's more where this one came from. Definitely going back to the same spot tomorrow!

Here's a couple of pics:

Hey Tim, good to see you posting (on this forum)! Gotta tell you, based on what I've read, I've been blessed as I've nabbed 8 CC's in 32 years, but NONE as rare as yours- that coin is a beauty and, I know you said you're not selling it, but it surely is worth a few hundred. My personal experience with slabbing found silvers is, inevitably they come back with a grade but always noted as scratched or environmental damage. Regardless, do whatever you want- that rarity is yours and you deserve it- Congrats amigo!

Holy cow, eight CC's? You're the man, Jeff! That's very impressive. Took me 10 years to find one, so I don't think I'll ever match your total.

I found same coin and its one of my lowest mintage silvers but it came from river so a little rough compared to yours. Congrats

Thanks! Very cool that you found the same coin on the East Coast as well! I wonder how many have survived over the years? I only see three on eBay right now, so it must be a scarce coin.
