I was on my knees for this one (Half Dime)

[mxtswinger]

Hadn't had any luck at this old "house" from the outside, so decided to crawl under. It was murder on my back but well worth it. My first seated coin, and a half-dime to boot which has been on my top three list of things to find. WOO-HOO! There was no room to dance, so I had to limit myself to rolling around on the ground and shouting

It had a nasty yellow corrosion on it and I tried some conservative cleaning to no avail. The pics here are after some improper techniques, but I'll never sell it and it's a common date.
