<p>[QUOTE=&quot;APW, post: 2442987, member: 56654&quot;]I found this yesterday while metal detecting on the corner of my property:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://andrewpwatson.com/stuff/coins/1839-seated-dime-01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://andrewpwatson.com/stuff/coins/1839-seated-dime-02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>From the research I&#039;ve done, this dime seems to be somewhat of a rarity. It has the &quot;large O&quot; that was left over from the 1838 die, a couple double-stamped stars, and two distinguishable rim cuds. I&#039;ve matched it to this:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1839o_105apage.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1839o_105apage.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1839o_105apage.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s in crazy-good shape, with tons of fine detail. I haven&#039;t cleaned it at all, so I suspect more detail would come out if I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any information on this little guy?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
