    2 silvers today/61 rosie and a too worn to tell

    Hello SE Michigan here.

    Found me a dime that is very worn. At first I thought it was a barber.

    It is totally worn away on the obverse, on the reverse you can see a bitof a wreath or laurel at the bottom and the letter D as in dime. Don't think you can tell in the picture, but I think it might be an early seated.Was a nice day and a good hunt and even better I have a new spot atthe park.

    Good luck,

    Hello SE Michigan here.

    Thanks all, 6 silvers since last friday, can't complain, .

    Here's a pic of the other side, its totally blank. What detail there is on the reverseis much clearer in person, can't seem to get a good pic of it. But I do think its a seated dime. I also think it was probably dropped anytime from the late 40's to the 60's.
