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

Great looking coin and in real good shape for being in the ground, some just hold up better than others I guess. HH

That's sure a special find. I have found 5 seated dimes in the last few years....and they are all in Good. That one's in exceptional condition. Take a look at what it would have been worth if it had been an 1882-S. Not to downplay the 87 you found. It's a dandy!
