In 5 years of hunting I've only found one Seated coin.

I was looking through my pocket change the other day. I almost made water in my pants when I saw this French 1/2 Franc tails up on my dining room table.

Is this close or what?! :shock: :no:

Darn those French!!! ;)

:lol: I'm surprised you still had it to take a picture of... If it would have been me once I took a better look and realized it was a 2007 coin and not a seated I would have whipped that thing as far as possible and walked away. :laughing:
 
After 4 years, I'm still looking for my first ! You've found one. Celebrate !

If you whipped that thing as far as possible......then you could have dug it up in a year or two....imagine the fun!!!!:laughing:
 
I does look similar. I've found several while roll hunting, and like most of the foreign coins I've found, I toss em!

Just to return the cruelty, I should plant it during one of those colonial hunts for my buddies. :D

I'll blame it on some non-existing French exchange student. :roll: ;)
 
That is cruel!

Hey..have some fun with it and share the love!...toss it out in a well hunted totlot, drop it into a Coinstar reject tray, toss it out on a beach, drop it into the 'take a penny' tray at your local store...

Somebody somewhere will appreciate a good pants wetting!...:laughing:

I've still never found any Seated coin. With the pics and finds people post on Facebook, it seems that they'd be not all that scarce (of course this isn't true).

I found a site that's yielded about 10 Indians, a few LC's, but still no Seated (nor any old silver at all), which is weird.
 
I feel your pain.
I once dug a Peace Dollar in a park and I was shocked.
All wrecked up but still...a silver dollar.

Then I turned it over to look at the eagle and this is what I saw.

A Two-Face Batman movie coin sold as a souvenir.
Never flew so high and crashed so hard.
The upside is a few years later I found a real 1922 Peace dollar so hopefully the same will happen to you asap.
 
Digger, wow that was turn for the worse! ;)

That likely gave a real blasting signal too.

Some day I hope we all get a real one under our coils. :D

It took a couple of years and a 750 mile move to another state but one day, totally out of the blue, I decided to dig a full can signal.
It wasn't a can.

Notice the year...I believe karma had something to do with this one.
Here's hoping it helps you out too.
