I finally found a seated dime 1889s and I am stoked. It was found at a old razed home. It is very tough hunting due to all the iron in the ground but I am digging it all, the dirt is soft. When I swung the coil over the dime, I knew it was good, but I was not at the least expecting a seated dime. However it is my best silver coin find this year and it is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. Probally lost right after mint. I just love how silver holds its own after being in the ground over 100 years.

checked in my coinvalues coin is around 50-85.00 nice find This is just a guess due to fact the pic is to small to see actual grade..can you enlarge the pics of after you took the dirt off?
 
thanks for tryin to post bigger pics,but now there to blurry to see the fine detail needed to grade a coin...
 
thats a nice one :icon_thumleft: MR TUFF
 
They are fun to find, :o even more so when you think its a rossie or merc. Great find ! :icon_thumleft:

Keep @ it and HH!! ;D :D
 
very nice. I'm hoping I have some luck with my latest search for properties to hunt. I have a 1905 farm house with an open ended invite, and a new 1858 house in a historic location..

Nice finds and Happy Hunting.

awesome dime. I'm assuming you did no rubbing, just a rinse, for max value. Way to go!
 
VERY cool! Congrats on your first! :thumbsup:
They AIN'T easy to find!
 
Very nice seated dime, Nove. She is a beauty. The detail is very clear. I'm sure it wasn't in circulation very long ::)
 
Great looking seated!
Congradulations :thumbsup:
