Seated Dime - Key Date

[49r Relics]

Found this on halloween at a Church that was built in the 1860's here in Northern California (one of two seated dimes found on this day).

Was very careful not to rub this coin at all and only rinsed it in distilled water. Going to get this coin slabbed at PCGS. Mintage 280,000 !

Gorgeous coin!!!!!! Personally, I would not have that coin slabbed. They are indeed an undervalued coin,
but could bring 3 or 4 hundred bucks. If you get it slabbed, it will come back as whatever they grade it
at, but it will also say "Environmental Damage", which could significantly bring down the value if you should
ever decide to sell. Sounds like you have a great place to hunt for awhile!!

Slab

Well, not necessarily. Only if there is evidence of pitting or corrosion. I have had dug silver coins slabbed (ICG) and have come back with normal attributions.

Silver does hold up well. Copper is a different story

So if you don't tell them, they would have to discover it to be dug under examination?? Also, is ICG any better than NGC or PCGS?

Thanks, Mark

Nice coin BB, I bought a used water-pik at a garage sale a few years ago. It does a great job removing dirt from all the crevices on coins, as well as jewelry. Just load the reservoir with your cleaning agent of choice and have at it ......NGE

Thats not entirely true either.I have seen them E.D. gold coins which we all know doesnt pit or corrode.They look at them through a microscope,I have seen some dug,pass and others not.At any rate if it is a grade you dont like you can take it out of the "slab"
