My Oldest Seated

[ggossage]

Popped a beauty out of the ground this morning in moist soil at about 4 inches deep in the front lawn of a property whose owner was kind enough to give me permission to dig. VDI 78-79 with the DFX/D2 coil in correlate mode. Had been digging wheats for an hour or so when I found it....sure was a welcome surprise. This beats my oldest American silver by 12 years.

Good post Deepdiger. I started to take a close look at the mint mark last night but had to get off the computer.

Thanks for the comments everyone and thanks for the info Deepdiger60; I doubt the coin would grade VF, but it'd still be interesting to know if my find fits the profile of the rare type you describe. How can I go about comparing the reverse of my coin with the "Reverse F" you cited?

Dogcaught, I'd be glad to have company on my next hunt--I'm pretty much limited to weekends, but let me know when you'd like to go. gg

 

[DigginThePast]

This "o" looks different than the others to me.

Ok, here's mine again with a closeup shot...sorry, had to use demo software. Like to hear your opinions--thank you.

[ggossage]

I can't tell by comparison which type of "O" it is--can anyone else?

 

[EagleDown]

I'm not an expert by any means, but comparing pictures, it appears to be a small o to me.

Congratulations. Great find.
