1842-O Seated Half

[Missouri_John]

I think i can officially say i love my MXT. I went to the old seminary by the river built in the 1850's that i'd found other old coins at. I was there maybe 15 minutes when i got a nice solid 25 cent hit. I dug a plug and stuck my pinpointer down in the hole and my Vibraprobe sounded off. I saw a nice glint of silver but didnt think it was anything that nice.........man was i wrong

Looks like it was just minted, congrats. Ron

I wish, man. It appears i found the medium date type, which is far less valuable than the small date..........but i'll take it

That coin sure looks like it didn't even get to be used at all. One of the nicest dug seated I have seen.
