Rare dime found in worked out, dug up park.

[bk]

This park is still producing some very nice coins and jewelry. In one of my earlier posts I mentioned a city park that was totally dug up. Prior to this park being dug up, it was considered by most to hunted out.
I told a friend to go in and give it a try. These are a few of the coins that he found there in addition to several IH cents, tokens, Barber dimes, and wheat's.
The 1879 Seated dime had a mintage of only 15,100.

Tell us about the 1845 cent? This was produced before the Indian head?

Excellant finds- -WTG!!
Doesn't it make you wonder-- how could they lose coins thru the years so consistently??

Any time a high traffic area is scrapped or top cover removed such as asphalt, it can be a gold mine. You have to be fast though or "they" are likely to immediately resurface such an area. Monty
