Got this at a stage stop in CA, that a buddy and I have been researching. And ... of course with the obligatory S mint mark (since we require our S mints to stay on this side of the Mississippi after all :cool: )

The coin is very environmentally "kissed", so I didn't bother with any further electrolysis.

Also shown is the associated age indicators from the site : Lantern parts, toe tap, henries, etc....

Way to go Tom. It's got some great detail on it! Better than the beach-toast Seated Half I found in Washington a couple weeks ago. Keep up the good work!
 
Where’s MY Seated half??? It seems EVERYONE is finding them, and with no effort at all! :cool3: Love it Tom, the other pile is damn cool too. There’s an entire story in there somewhere...

Awesome finds Tom !!

Would love to know your secret for researching old stage stops.. I have TRIED to find any old maps, schedules etc.. in my area Jackson County Oregon but have yet to find any useful information.

GREAT Finds !!
 
Big Congrats. That is a very nice find. I would love to find one of those, bet you had a big smile on your face when you unearthed that beauty!
 
You probably thought you had an LC. Haha. Tom she's a beauty, looks great with the tarnish, it gives her character. Congrats on the half and all the other cool digs. HH Mark
