My 1st Seated!!! Ended up being a rare one

[VTector87]

Got a new permission... Was walking towards a stump to a tree that must have been quite old.... On the way dug up a modern dime and bullet casing... This was the 3rd signal... A copper penny signal at 2" inches with my white's coinmaster.... While I was scraping the bottom of the plug with my fingers I thought "probably a early memorial.... Then out popped this beauty... The thing that makes it rare is the large "o" mint mark.... Unknown as to how many were minted like this

I forgot to mention this was about 4" from the big stump only about 1" down... Unbelievable!

Nice early Seated Liberty dime - looking at mintage (1,291,600) doesn't look terribly rare , still a great find .

Congratulations on the seated dime recovery, it's in great shape!

I explained the rarity a little in post... The original mint mark on the 1839 was a small "o" ... But also a rarer version of the mint mark was made using the 1838 die which was larger... And that mint quantity is unknown

Great find! 😁 Seated has eluded me from Day One. I'd settle for one half as nice as this.

That is really a banner coin with a little more back story about the find. Congrats!

Nice find there! Seated dimes are always awesome. Although the money doesn't matter, you're looking at a nice $60 dollar coin. Congrats!
