I Picked A Beautiful Coin To Break Into The 1800's

I got to go out for a while this morning before the rains come in and decided to cover a section of side walk that I had already hunted and found some wheaties. I only covered about two hundred feet of it and still have a lot to hunt. Today I decided to super tune my vaquero and this made the difference. I found a couple of more wheaties and then got an iffy signal. It sounded deep so I dug. Out pops a 1859-O seated dime. It was on edge and only about 6" deep. My first 1800's silver. Talk about a rush. About thirty feet more and another iffy signal. Out pops a 1912 barber. You can be sure I will go back there and dig every iffy signal I can find.

I rarely found any older coins until I started digging those iffy signals. If the signal is deep and non-ferous, I'm digging it! Congratulations on the great finds, and thanks for posting. That seated is in great shape.

That's a Wonderful seated coin. Welcome to the 1800s. Pull up a chair and stay a while.



It's great to have a solid one with lots of eye appeal for your first. My first few had pocks, scratches, oxidation, wear, or worse.




Best Wishes,




Buckles

Thanks again everyone. This really made my day.

Hey BB, this one is in really great shape but does have some minor scratches. There was pea gravel mixed in with the dirt and I guess some of it was touching the dime when I dug it. Never the less, it is beautiful for my first and I will never forget the feeling.

I always thought my first would be a barber, maybe late 1800's. Didn't know I was going to skip so many years. This one is pre civil war.

Good luck everyone.
