Best Coin Find to Date!!!!

[Pennsylvania Treasures]

Well....2 weeks after finding my U.S. Belt Buckle I was digging a yard that I thought was built in the 1900 Era, but due to my finds I believe the home dates 1850. So right after I asked permission I started hitting some wheat's and a the innards of a old pocket watch. I then made my way to these two big trees that were probably 120 years old or so, I got a good signal right in the middle of them and pulled a Nice 1873 Semi-Key Date Indian with beautiful green patina! I then had my suspicions of this house and was sure it was older than 1900. I then moved around pulling some more coins and relics and then..... I got a nice but scratchy 70-88 signal on the ATPro. I dug down and lone behold I saw in my hole a Half Dollar. I pulled out my camera and thought it was going to be a Walker or MAYBE a Barber, but no... I pushed off some dirt and saw the beautiful Seated Eagle on the back of the coin and lost my mind!!!!!:shocked05::happy: IT WAS MY FIRST EVER SEATED SILVER AND TURNED OUT TO BE THE GRAND SLAM OF THE SERIES!!!! A 1856 SEATED HALF DOLLAR!! :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::happydance01::happyda nce01:



P.S. I know I put a ding on it, but I don't even know how it happened! I was very easy while digging it. I guess that's what I have to pay for digging it! Its still a beautiful coin though! Just focus on its good angles!:lolsign:

When I first scrolled through your thread at first I thought you were talking about the 1873 Indian Head, because that coin in itself is a great find, and it's in wonderful condition. But then I saw the Seated Half Dollar!

WOW! What a beautiful coin! :smitten:

Incredible detail on it still. :thumbsup02:

I really love that last group photo of all your finds. What a great shot that represents why we love this hobby. :yes:

HUGE congrats on your spectacular hunt! :perfect10:

Congrats on big silver. No rays on the back and no arrows around date. Still got a fair amount of detail. Apparently I like to point out the obvious.
