Mint luster

[Noah]

Got out with Digger Don and his son Alex to do some 1920s homes since all the older ones in town we figured had been hunted out. Well we did a couple, and then drove past a corner house (usually already done) that Don said he'd had permission to do in the past but never actually got her done. So I asked the owner for permission again and he said sure. Well so glad we did! I think it was an 1880s house, but nothing notable about it. I crossed diagonally across it, and got to the first signal which was a scratchy penny signal, with a slight high tone about it. Really wasn't expecting anything good. I always dig small holes not wanting to leave a mess, but when I got down about 8 inches I gave up the shovel because it was hard to maneuver in the hole. Now just digging with my fingers and after the machine numbers changing from a 12-43 to now a 12-46 I started to get excited! Thought possibly a silver quarter. Well after feeling the rim of a coin and popping it out comes a silver half!! I yelled Barber half!! Proceeding to a puddle from the night's rain I said it's not a Barber but actually it's a seated half!! Finally got my bucket lister. It's a common date, 1877 but amazingly with mint luster. Holy cow! I had a great day out with the guys. I dug the seated half along with a walking liberty half, a Washington quarter, Mercury dime, Roosevelt dime, Buffalo nickel,
war nickel, and an 1887 Indian head penny. 15 wheat pennies came along for the ride too.

I removed that pic and hopefully later I can get the right one on there. Daughter was helping me since I have a mental block when it comes to downloading ANYTHING! Must be my age.

I was waiting for this post! What a beautiful coin! Congrats on the incredible find, Tim! It is in great shape! It may be a common date but it's so rare to find a Seated Half metal detecting. Good job marking that one off of your bucket list!

WOW, that's a huge chunk of Silver! The last owner must have been pretty upset to lose that.
