I finally joined the seated club.

Hello all. I made a very interesting find tonight out of a Garda box of dimes. Nearing the end of this box, i saw a dark edge and almost ignored it. Decided to pull it from the roll and saw a seated lady staring back at me. Let out a big YEAH! My wife, who was cooking in the kitchen came running in. She was not amused. Anyway, someone a long time ago turned this particular dime into a love token and probably had it hanging on a chain or string. Still, it's my very 1st seated anything out of a roll and a nice historical find. Thanks for reading and looking. HH-MM2 I'm working on adding pics, give me a few minutes.

Nice find in history sense, not only the coin itself, but also who the intended lovers were. Hummmmm!!!! Kinda like the "Titantic" movie, where the old woman starts recalling the romance she had only after seeing a drawing of the very special diamond. I wonder who's initials those are

Thanks for the comments. I almost missed it with the rim being so black. My oldest silver dime before this was a 1901 Barber found out of a brinks box. There was one other silver in this box, a 64-D. Wish i could make out what those initials are; i can't read the old victorian script.

That is very cool!! Love that design, and you can see somebody took good care of it (until it was dumped into a coin machine. lol)

Great find for sure! Congrats on your membership into the club, I just got my membership notice as well!
