Seated

[Sam]

Recently tried my luck at some Victorian era houses, in particular a house built 1856. Within 5 minutes of my arrival I found a 1964 Rosie and some wheat pennies. After not finding much else I relocated to a different section of the yard. I hit a faint 82-83 signal on my AT PRO, dug down, and saw the silver rim in the sidewall of my hole. I took out my camera and revealed it live, I saw the 'ONE DIME' on the back, and thought I had a nice conditioned Barber. I flipped it over and saw that it was a Seated Dime, my second ever.

It was dated 1875, with a Carson City mintmark. About a foot from the Seated Dime, I hit a similar signal. I dug the plug and saw another silver rim. I took the coin out and saw the 'ONE DIME' reverse again. It turned out to be a 1895-S Barber, which I believe is a semi-rare date.

One nice seated lady !! And a cc ... Those mint marks don't turn up too often. Nice find for sure. Got to love detecting old houses.

Nice seated dime. I got a house 1862 that I gotta get back to. Hopefully I can pull out something like this there. The dog fence makes it hard to use anything but the GTI. The fact the guy needs to be home makes it hard to be at the house.
Are you thinking because the 1895-O is a key date, that the -S is semi-key?

[Lodge Scent]

'Tis a beauty!
