I very rarely see Vicky silver pulled from US ground. I bet there are way more American diggers that have never found a Vicky dime than those that haven't found a seated one. Congratulations!

You will get your seated, but you won't get many more of those!

I thought they were all H that year. Your photo shows it has the H. What you want is the one minted the previous year!

Nice find...….I've only dug one Victoria silver and it was a five cent coin sometimes called a "fishscale". Still lookin' for my first seated coin.

It does?!!!!! I’ll need to put some glasses on or I’m looking in the wrong spot. Thanks Cuda!!

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Huh, after further review it does have an “H” I was looking above the wreath, thanks again Cuda. I’ll go sit in the corner with the stupid helmet on.

I still couldn’t see it until I used a magnifying glass and a side light. What does the “H” stand for?? Halifax?

Nice finds Joe, best wishes!

Still a nice find, congrats!

My oldest coin I've dug is a Canadian - an 1852 Upper Canada 1 cent token dug in Michigan. My oldest US coin is an 1890 V nickel.

Very nice find.

I am one who has not found a Vicky dime in 17 years of detecting. I think it is a great find. Way to go. Keep swingin.

I was looking into these Vicky dimes, only 450,000 minted in Heaton in 1890, huh, it’s a sleeper (;

Nice silver...

Joe like others have said you will find seated. That's a great coin! It took me two years to find seated and then I found a second a month later. Being a Canadian found in Mass makes it a rarity of sorts. I have not found a Canadian silver yet. Nor a Canadian large cent... I basically want it all. HAHA! Congrats though!
