but it is my first seated coin! I was at my wife Becky's grandmothers house in the old part of Kansas City. The house was built in 1916 so I was sure there had to be something there. Boy was I surprised when I pulled a 1875 Seated Dime out. It is so badly worn that I am sure it is worthless but still it is my first seated and I am sure Becky is very happy that it was found in her grandmothers yard. Becky's grandmother passed away in Early October and the house is being prepared for sale in spring so this was probably the one and only chance I would have to detect it.

Congratulations on your first seated!!!
 
Congrats on the first Seated... :icon_thumright:
 
Even worn it's a sweet find!
 
its silver and thus not worthless ;D modern zinc cents now thats worthless. :tongue3:
 
What do you mean "not pretty!?" Just think about how many fingers had to pass over that dime to get it to this condition......I think that makes it beautiful!

That's a very good (unique) way of looking at it. I am going to use that when people comment on how worn it is.

Thanks!
 
AWESOME and congrats!
