Rare 1859 seated dime

[CarsonChris]

I got out today for a 1/2 day hunt to an old homestead I found about a year ago. The homestead sat next to a major wagon road from the 1850's and 60's. Lots of water in the area due to snow run off. The runoff is actually sanding in the homestead unfortunately. Found this little dandy toward the end of my day!

Huge congrats on that baby ! Great find !
With a mintage of only 60,000 that is a rare coin for sure.
In fantastic shape too. I'll bet that beauty is worth more than a few skins !!

Wow what a beauty. Seems like you hit a small jackpot. It surely would have been a banner find in my book. Even if it is dug specimen it might be worth getting graded.
