So I bought a box of dimes from a local PNC, and started cracking them open like usual... I open a roll and all the dimes were dusty white, as if they were out of a well or something and I see a solid silver smooth edge, I look and its a barber I'm sure! Flip it and its actually an 1883 seated! I started yelling through the house. Went through a few more rolls and I saw a roll with a gap, I look and see a thin edge 1903 5 cent Canadian. Silver for sure. I went back and bought $300 and yeilded 3 more silver roosies. Not doing bad lately

Congrats, that's a great find! :thumbsup:

I think my oldest dime find was a '24 merc I found a couple of years ago.

H$H!

I've been CRHing for over 10 years now and I'll tell you I've never found anything 1800's, seated, barber, etc.
Probably because I do Pennies and nickels lol

Awesome find on the seated. I've only found one in 7 years and that was a love token. I believe the 1903 5 cent is sterling silver too. Congrats!!

Would really like to see a good picture of the King Ed Canadian, congrats!

I've found six Barbers, but no seateds. Very rare, so lucky you :thumbsup:

Very nice find. People probably thought it was an old foreign coin without really looking at it, and just spent it as a dime.
