Mental Unrest -- Dime Roll Find -- 1837 Seated Liberty -- Pictures

[MentalUnrest]

I didn't think I could top my 1865 3 cent nickel I found a few months back, but I think this is one better. I saw the reverse first and thought it was a Barber. My most amazing find!!

1837 was a crossover year as it was the first year for the Seated Liberty and last year for the Liberty Cap.

Best to you -

Very nice find. It is almost faint, but even in G-5 shape, it is beautiful. I like both reverse and obverse designs.
For a 175 years old silver coin, it is in a decent shape. Looks like it circulated for at least 80-90 years.

And you even have the small date, which is more valuable.

 

[Solid Rolls]

That is just plain beautiful!!

 

[crhstreetwalker]

Just imagine how many transactions this dime must have been used in. Crazy! Nice find!

 

[mountainman 2]

That dime may have been carried in the pocket of a civil war soldier. Awesome find!

Some jerks might do volume and get a lot of silver, but this is proof that good guys find the good coins.
