the 20 cent seated is a semi key date. there was a little over 1 million made. thay where only made for 3 years. 25,600 in 1876 and only 600 in 1877 but most of the 77's where melted down. any one of these with a CC mint mark is worth big $$$.
 
I've been reading MD forums for several years and this is the first twenty cent coin I've seen. Congrats. On the pics, try backing off from the coins so the camera can focus, then crop the pic and resize. Also use natural light rather than flash.

I think he's in Rhode Island.
 
Congratulations on some great coins. It's going to be hard to keep beating those type of coins, this soon in your hunting career. Keep up the good work!!! The quality of the pictures will improve with practice. If you have a "macro" setting on the camera, use it.:yes:
 
Great finds! I really like the odd demoninations. The two and three cent pieces, half dime and twenty cent piece are all still on my "to find" list. Congrats!
