Have a Seat Bigrig!!!

[bigrig40]

Hi all,
I SCORED MY FIRST SEATED COIN!!!!!!!!!!!It is a 1887s seated liberty dime.The condition is great.Me and knorrski were hunting tonite at a rec center/park that used to be a school from 1850 to 1925 and during WW2 was a dance hall for GI's.We have hunted the park area and the back of the rec center with average success with clad and knorrski found a wheat there before.Wheats are always a good measuring tool for us to define how hard the are is hunted and how old a property may be.Anyways, I went to the front of the rec center and found a wheatie.I started to hunt the strip between the sidewalk and the road when a small boy came up to see what I was doing and the next signal was 4in deep penny/dime reading on my MXT and out came the seated dime!I was and am still in awe.Wasn't expecting it at all.From that moment on I gave the boy all my clad,about 15 more coins.Thanks for reading.I am a happy bigrig!!

peace,bigrig

Congrats BigRig. I know the feeling. I found a 1891 S over the weekend. It wasn't my first but I still remember the first one.

The one I found shocked me too. Got a plus 79 at 1 inch. Expecting a clad dime even though I was in a old area and out it popped. They are one beautiful coin.

You'll find more now.

That is one sweeeeet looking dime!!!

You should start a dug type set. Get yourself one of the dansco Type set albums and try to fill it with dug coins. I know you already have some silver coins and a Buffalo nickle to start it off.

Here's one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dansco-7070-Album-for-U-S-Type-Coins_W0QQitemZ8348885320QQcategoryZ39475QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
