My First Old Coin...

[Swartzie]

Had my Ace 250 for about a month now and bagged my first old coin. An 1876 Seated Liberty quarter plain. I found her in a field where a 1912 topo map shows a town close to a creek. The town was relocated to higher ground when a dam was constructed in 1939. So I figured I'd try my luck. Lots of trashy hits in the wooded parts, but the open field proved to be a success. Also, found another coin about 20 feet away. This coin says "butter packer wooster ohio" and some other stuff I can't make out. Still in the cleaning process. But she rang as a quarter. Maybe some kind of vending coin or something. I'll have to look into it. But, I assume it's old as well. Anyway, I think I may have found a new hunting ground. The Seated Liberty is plenty worn, but was an exciting find for me.

seated quarters are sweet...I still gotta find one. Good luck with hunting that place, sounds like it really has some nice potential

Welcome to TNet and congrats on the seated silver. That is what we all have been hunting for. I've been at this for around 33 years and still waiting for one of them. Great find!
