old american silver + great condition + low mintage = amazing work Tana

thanks! I like your post- very creative The only other low mintage coin I've found is a 1864L IH

I looked up Chas Rettig and think I found him: Born Feb 8, 1875 Died Sept 1, 1968 from Hamilton Co, Ohio. He was 93 yrs old and his SS# 296-22-0841 The internet is amazing stretcher:

Nice early Seated Dime Tana With only a little over 406,000 minted it is a rarer one. Congrats on finding that beauty

I had a Red Book in my car, but kept hunting for about an hour- enjoying the anticipation of not knowing the value . I had a feeling it was something special

Very nice coin. I notice that it was vertical in the plug. I know when I dug the standing liberty it was vertical and drove my detector crazy. I had a heck of a time just pin pointing it. Great find, and in amazing shape. <:

That Seated is sure a beauty! Congrats on a great find!

Just a spectacular seated dime, Tana! I am very happy for you! A find like that would make my year! I wouldn't sell it but that's just me, I'm a hopeless packrat. It would bring a smile to my face every time I looked at it.

I'm not sure if I'll ever find anything that cool but I'm going to keep trying!

Congrats on the wonderful find!

8/ You're right- I bet that's why it was all over the place! I'm pretty new to this... (2 yrs) I've prob missed quite a few coins on their sides

I tend to dig just the good solid signals, even if they are prob pop tabs or zilcolns. Could be gold rings or IHs! I need to learn my V3i better... keep meaning to read more and try some different programs

That Seated is sure a beauty! Congrats on a great find!

Thanks! It's my second one ever And still haven't found a Barber :-\ Lots of mercs though!

Thanks Tony! I see your goal of the year I am a hopeless packrat too. I've never sold any of my MD finds or any of my arrowheads from 20 yrs of hunting either

I'm working on selling my children's stuff on CraigsList now, it feels so good to simplify!

nice one tana! i have the same coin but yours is nicer. i cant find the link but i thinki that was one of the first coins out of the new orleans mint. i think a year or 2 older and it would have been a bust. congrats. willy

i cant say anything that wasnt already said! i would love to find such a coin ....a big congrats to you! well done!!

Now that's a hunt to remember!
I have yet to find any 1800's silver let alone a rare seated. You hit the jackpot!

[Bell-Two]

Beautiful coin Tana well deserved find. That plate with a name is very likely a old charge plate for a dept store or someplace similar. That is the way they looked you presented it like you used to do with a charge card and they made an imprint.

Thanks, this is only my 2nd 1800's silver - the other is a seated dime (1877cc). It sure is a rush, makes you want more lol I love the large cents, only found 2 of those as well (1820 and 1833) I love the old stuff... Good luck to you in your next hunt!

Ahhhh, I was wondering what it was... I bet you're right. I plugged in BCA and so many things came up!

Wow, nice find, and it is a beauty Congrats.
