Seated 1875 Dime

Colonial Copper Zeus · May 27, 2007

I got out with the boys again. Some research took us to an area that was fresh out of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It was so grown over that the Amazon Rainforest had nothing on this place. After abandoning all hope we decided to hit the area where I found the 1808 6 Kreuzer and my King George Copper. After about a half hour I got a dime reading about six inches deep and out popped an 1875 Seated Dime with zero wear. It's been a while since I found Seated. Doyboy said that it sucks that I found a Seated coin. I thought that he sounded alittle jealous to me. He said that it should have been a spanish reale instead. Well the area is old enough and he did find a half reale close by but I was happy with my seated enough to shout with joy. He laughed at me and said the seated wasn't worthy of a shout. NEPHEWS. Now I see why some animals eat their young. ....Chris

I would have to say that my 1875-S dime, found around the Bandshell, would have to beat yours. hehehe Just to add another note, I don't think no one heard me a shoutin' when I found mine (stated in a Southern drawl). Well, I guess the professionals act differently on occasions.
