Most of the silver coins we're finding are Seated Liberty pieces. Halves, quarters, and dimes all found. This is just the tip of the iceberg. One detectorist found these in a few hours time. The dime is an 1877-CC. I'm thinking there is a gold coin or two waiting to be found at this location...

Great finds there! What coal mining states are you finding them in? When I think of coal mining towns, rural eastern areas of WV, KY, PA, & OH come to mind, so it’s interesting to think a ‘CC’ coin circulated there. Are you searching old mine sites, parks, or private permissions?
Outstanding site. You either did some great research or got extremely lucky.
Excellent!

way cool. we'd love to see then when found
Before long it will be too cold to metal detect here in Iowa on our coal mining town permissions. I'm hoping we can work the site at least one more time this year before the ground freezes.The research is ongoing. Here's a piece I found that some here might find interesting. https://www.iowapbs.org/education/findiowa/media/9515/coal-mining-iowa
