Seated Quarter and Shield Nickel, Long time no post.

[Chris(SoCenWI)]

Hello all, not sure if I've posted on the new version of this Forum. Sure did like the old style better.

Just got back from a construction site in a nearby town. Wanted to see if more dirt had been moved. Too late.

I found these two on previous expeditions. This is my sixth seated quarter; three of them are dated 1877, my first ever was an S mint mark, as is this one, one CC. What are the odds?

The nickel is 1866.

Getting a little rain here, but otherwise the soil is like concrete.

Still looking for my first seated coin of any kind, nice recovery.

Nice finds. Either don't show up all that often.

Glad to see you back. I remember your handle. I'm originally from Mn many decades ago (but do get back every year) and considered us neighbors. HH jim tn

Nice recoveries Chris. I have yet to hit a CC mint mark on my Seated Quarters or dimes.

I got an 1877 in a construction site this year as well, first ever. Also found two seated dimes all within 10 feet of each other.
