Today managed to pull a seated half <: <: and a couple of common silver coins. Despite the tarnish, the seated has a good bit of detail, and it was quite a thrill to pull out of the dirt, The sort of thrill you'll never forget, really. Thanks for looking and HH.

WOW and a nice early one to boot. Congrat and you will remember that dig forever.
That's one of the nicest dug coins I've seen posted. Given how excited I get when I dig a plain old Merc it's probably for the best I never find a coin like yours - it would likely kill me right there in the field. Congrats! I can't even imagine! :clapping:

Simply incredible. I just can't imagine pulling such a wonderful coin. She is gorgeous.
Gotta ask, do you plan on cleaning it up any? Not quite sure if I would attempt it or not. :confused:
Wonderful finds man!

I'm not sure, but I've been leaning against it. I'll just have to find another that's not tarnished lol
Thanks for all the comments folks. I'm still sort of reliving it. Oddest thing was I really didn't know what it was at first -- I sorta could make out the seated figure on the front, but thought no way -- and figured it was some sort of token or medallion, then when I turned it over the eagle came in clear, and that's when I was in shock.
