Welcome to the 1800's club. Love those seated coins. They are scarce in my area. Only pulled one in 14 months.

Congrats on breaking thru to the 1800's. Thats a beauty with or without the hole.

Most of the older coins you find with holes weren't holed to be worn as jewelry but as a way to carry their change because clothes back then were hand made and it was a lot of extra work to put pockets in.

Didn't they hole coins so that they could sow them into their clothes to prevent loss, robbery. Didn't help this coin though

hey dbandgb it has been tough digging...i basicly went the whole month of july without detecting because of little rain and near 100 temps every day....so now temps r near 90 so i have been detecting more....oh yeah...you ask how ive been digging....with my 31 inch lesche and a lot (and i do mean a lot) of sweat....lol...i am really looking forward to fall and winter

Congrats on entering the 1800s club! As pointed out by the others, that's a really nice way to enter the club!

I have looked all over Charlotte, but just can't seem to find a seated coin... guess I better try harder!

Best of luck to you!

Nice seated with "personality" Congrats!

Looks like someone's attempt to hang onto it failed.
