1842-O Seated Half

[Missouri_John]

Not quite the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow on St Patty's Day, but a close 2nd. I took a trip to the old seminary built in the 1850's that i'd found another seated coin at. Got a nice solid coin signal on my MXT and dug about 6 inches down and stuck my pinpointer down in the hole and saw a glint of silver

WOW what condition that coin is in. Looks like it came out of a folder. I wish I could find silver in that condition. Congratulations and HH.

It pretty much came out of the ground like that. The soil was real black and not very mineralized

She is a beauty John, congrats on the half, big silver is always good, but one in that condition is what memories are made of.
