DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 01/13/2026 10:56 pm 2025 was an epic year for Seated coins - I hit 29 in total (mostly dimes) and just starting to get around to some more restorations. 1876 Half below - it restored fairly well. Standard toolset - Polarity Ladder and Sodium Sesquicarbonate. Ug3wJRzxbPU I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 02/14/2026 08:55 am Nothing special with the actual coin however, had no idea what was underneath this heavily encrusted/corroded copper. Quite the surprise as details started showing up. Another find from our 1880 rail construction camp tours. HObbdhw-S54 I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
