That is one beautiful find and definitely on my bucket list. We are hunting a location that has a lot of Barbers and I keep hoping a Seated will show up. Congrats in the exceptional find.
 
Awesome! My only silver was a 1839-O half dime on my property so i know how much fun that little guy can be :)
 
Thanks everyone! I don't think I understood how hard they were to find when I found it. Judging from the comments from others and other forums, seems like a tough one. Heck, it is tiny - so it can't be very easy to get.

I know! I thought the same thing that a half dime is easy since its the only silver coin ive found (granted i havent hunted where i can find more yet) but still i thought they were popular too!
