Jenicholson New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/12/2014 8:54 pm Hello every one! I am looking to these forums for expert advice. I recently got this coin. It is not one of my metal detecting finds. This 1889 Seated Coin is throwing me off. There is no pitting, or seam, and it does not stick to a magnet. I ran it under my Minelab Etrac and it has the same reading as a 1889 Seated dime I dug last summer. I am stumped would they make a counterfeit out of silver? Or could this be post mint damage. Tried to get good pics, thanks for the help. Edited by Jenicholson 05/12/2014 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jenicholson New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/12/2014 10:26 pm It looks like it is raised, but I cant feel the raise at all on the coin. Where it seems to spill over on the A it is def out of line but smooth also. The reverse looks normal and worn. Edited by Jenicholson 05/12/2014 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 11:07 am The coin has been in a corrosive environment at some point which has etched the obv, and there was something stuck to the obv that protected the central area of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
