I don't hunt alot of spots that are conducive to American coins like this, but I'll take them every time! This may have been dropped by a hunter, probably soon after the mint date from the looks of it. It sure was a nice suprise. :icon_sunny: Now I'm going to try and clean it without scratching it...


I decided to just blot it with a camel hair brush under running water. The front doesn't look as good as the reverse, but not too bad.

Re: My First Seated Half!

Great find there and as you said, it looks to be in pristine condition. I would love to see it all cleaned up to better view the details.
 
Re: My First Seated Half!

Beautiful find! Try cleaning it with just water to begin with. Don't break out the polish just yet.
 
Re: My First Seated Half!

An excellent dig! Nice to see any Seated come up for air, but truly a Seated Half is awsome. Congrats! :thumbsup:
