    Melted Seated Liberty dimes

    Found these in a field. They seem like they would be in great condition if they weren't in a fire. Gave a great signal and thought it might be a piece of lead but to my surprise it was three (3) dimes.

    Now there's something you don't see every day!

    You found an incredibly rare 30 cent piece! thumbsup01

    I think that's an awesome find! You're right, that dime on top was in near mint condition before it was melted. Really makes you wonder what the other two dimes are, doesn't it?

    They are probably all seated and nice find. I wonder if this is the 1st report of a hot seat.

    I think your right. It may be the only 30 cent piece in the U S. Thanks for bringing that up, I feel a lot better now.

    I've thought of trying to pry them apart but, where one edge of the coins is melted,and you can not see any reeding I figured that i would probably ruin them. So I'll leave them that way. Chances are they would break with my luck.
