Got home from work a bit early and went for another quick dig. I walked the wagon trails again and a perfect 93 caught my ear. Dug the plug, and the first thing I saw was that eagle looking back at me and I knew exactly what I had. I nearly had a heart attack!

This is my oldest quarter, and only my second seated coin in seven years. My other is a slick dime, and I have been hoping for a nicer example.

Finding Seated on the Canadian prairie is a real challenge so I am thrilled with this coin!

Really trying to knock it out of the park before the snow flies huh? That quarter is 30% cooler on our side of the border anyway [emoji6]

Yeah haha! My silver coin count is less than half of my past years, so this really makes up for it.

Giant congrats JC. That's a stunning coin! I have yet to find a seated coin.

If that was in one of my holes, I'd fall over grasping my chest!
