The recent hoard of Seated coinage found at an 1881-1882 railroad camp is starting to get processed. A total of 14 Seated coins were found, here are the two half dollars.
VC was instrumental on the 1871 although not necessary on the '66.
In addition to all the Seated coinage found this summer, the Metal Detecting crew has pulled over 50 Chinese Cash coins. Here is one of the more recent restorations.
Here is another Chinese Coin restoration, a remarkable transformation and appealing coin.
Funny back story to this - I probably tossed a half dozen of these 'washers' into my garbage pouch over the summer and they are lost forever. My buddy found this 'washer' in the same area but actually decided to spray it off before tossing as we were wondering why so many 'washers' were present.
Long story short for detectorists, if they are a little smaller than a dime and have a round hole, do not automatically think it is a washer.
