It's "Seated Saturday!" Post yours as well....

It's that time again everyone! It's a free for all "Seated Saturday". All Coins, Tokens medals or other that are "Seated coins".
BTW: It's going to be a sloppy weekend here in the north so entertain me with some coinage.

There is a nice group of metal detectorists that post videos on YouTube. The name of their channel is Quarter Hoarder. A few weeks ago, one of the girls from the team found a Seated Liberty Half Dollar



The incredible thing is that she recently started metal detecting, and it was like the 3rd coin she had ever found. Talk about beginner's luck!


Here is the video
