Got out Sunday with Gribnitz for a few hours. First time out in a few weeks. Had a good time and some nice finds. I found 2 civil war bullets and a 1875 s dime! Just my second silver coin ever and by far the oldest coin I have found. Finally broke into the 1800's!!! Have to thank Gribnitz for sharing his hunting spots I need to find some good sites to return the favor.

Have fun!

Congrats it is a beaut....In my opinion the single most beautiful coin created! Is the a CC on the back?
 

Great find!!!

I've yet to get a seated dime myself, or anthing seated for that matter.
I bet that made your day! I know it would have made mine.
Very nice find, congratulations!

Sweet dime... I've found at least 200 silver coins but only one seated coin and it's the same as yours a 1975 seated dime...

Congrats.... :o :o :o
 

Can you give a picture of the back, with mintmark? There were 2 "S" varieties that year, one worth a little more than the other. Great find!
 

Thanks for the replies everyone! Here is a scan of the back and a better scan of the front.

If it's an S.. then I highly doubt there will be a CC on the back ;)

I did not notice he said it was a 1875s on his original post. But hey....good dig!
 

Tremendous find, OberKill!!! Can't wait for my first silver.

The old 1975 seated dime! No wonder why you found 200!
