She's 136 years old, thin and worn......but she is my oldest and first

Hello All.......
It was a beautiful day in the Eugene/Springfield area today... way too nice to do all
the work that I had planned. So I got most of it done fairly early and the call to
detect took over. I decided to hunt an area that has produced some really nice
coins in the past and figured that I would probably find a lot of clad and some wheats
and maybe a silver or two. Well, the clad was correct and so was the wheats.... but the
supprise was a silver 1873-s Seated Liberty Dime. This is my oldest silver, my first
seated anything and my first time in the 1800's bracket with any coins. She may be thin
and worn but she is BEAUTIFUL to me. Thanks for looking....... Gold Nuggets

Congratulations, Richard!

That is a fantastic find--the first verified seated I know of to be found in Eugene. I'm sure there have been others in earlier decades when nothing had been hunted, but this is a very special coin because it re-opens the possibility and hope for all the rest of us that there still might be some around and that we don't have to go out of town to find great coins.

You have worked hard to learn your new SE and now the payoffs are coming. I wish you many more and hope to see you soon!
