(Video) What a SUPER Sunday! My First Liberty Seated!

KYshooter · Feb 6, 2011

A SUPER Sunday, indeed!

I only dug one coin. But it's a keeper.

Check out the video ...

Once again, I went back to my hotel site. I tried to work a couple of new parts, but as I dug tin cans, beer cans, and car parts in clay, it was evident that I was working a trash-dumped. bulldozed zone of the property.

So, I moved over closer to the actual building site ... sort of on the right side of the original building if you were standing in front of it and looking at it.

I dug mountains of trash metal, then got this perfect 79-80 VDI at two inches. I was excited when I turned over a spade full of deep, dark soil. And I was even more excited when I saw this beautiful lady ...

It's my first Liberty Seated! I am so stoked.

I am running a bit behind on my silver goal for the year. I want to dig 52 this year (average one per week). This makes #3. But they're all good ones.

*1805 Draped Bust Dime

I'll take it!

I hate to give you a hard time but... :dontknow:

Try not to thumb rub that old silver go striate for the water, :icon_thumleft:

great find !! :headbang:

Really it won't make that much of a difference being dug coins but it will make some difference.

Its not hard to put fresh scratch marks on silver its kinda a soft metal. :sign13:

Not trying to be a jerk or mean or tell you what to do. Just trying to help out please no one be mad at me. :notworthy:

Keep @ it and HH !!

Hater ...

Just kidding, man. :tongue3:

Yeah, I know better ... but I'm impatient. ::)

And I could see from the reverse that I was looking at a well-worn, circulated coin.

The good news is that even after knocking the dirt off, the coin was still completely coated in a dark film. There are some environmental scratches, which is no real surprise since it was only about two inches deep.

After a good rinse, I did what I normally do with my silvers ... gave it a little mouth washing (gross, I know, but effective ... freaked my kid out the first time I did it.)

So, feel free to "call me on the carpet" for this anytime. I need to slow down and take my time.

Blessings,

Geoff
