Nice find!
I've never seen a seated half cent before. LOL.

I always wonder who had that coin and what hands it has been through when I see such a find. That's part of the wonder of metal detecting. Great find! JIM

nice find - it just go to prove theres always an exception to every rule 2" lose soil - man i could dig that all day - coins would be flying out of that stuff - like when you detect mulch areas - LBP

Does that say 1812? If so can't be many of those around, if so check to see the value of it.

 

[GoingDown]

It does indeed say 1812 ... thats why i stopped breathing when i unearthed it... I can't locate a possible value yet but I did find a link to some information about this "token" from Canada... http://collections.ic.gc.ca/bank/english/edec78.htm
