    Possible Grand Slam! Rosie, Merc, Seated and... Mexican barber?

    Took a few trips back to the ole' park over the weekend. Haven't had much luck there lately. Started out friday night, and after about 45 minutes or so of hunting we got a 5-6 incher, and it turned out to be my dad's second seated ever and first of the year!! Its the same year as the first one he found, but this one's an S mint. A little later in the same area we found the mercury around 5 inches.

    Went back Saturday and he got a silver dime about 5 inches, pulled it out and saw a wreath, so we started to think barber or seated again! Flipped it over and saw a weird design on the front. Turns out it was a 1906 mexican dime and a first for us.

    Took a short trip back again on Sunday night and my dad got a Rosie, which completes the controversial grand slam! I also found the 1880 indian just before he got the rosie. I got the 1890 indian last week also.

    Thanks for looking guys,
