My First Barber Dime

[MentalUnrest]

I got a 1911 Barber from a box of dimes that contained 2 other Rosies. Based on the edge, you would have never known. It looked like a foreign coin by the edge as it had no ridges - completely smooth - and more importantly had no tinge of silver at all - the rim had the color of a very worn penny. I do a large amount of boxes each week, but never thought I would find a Barber in the wild. Mercuries always gave me a huge thrill, but this went way above any of my expectations!

That's pretty cool. Can you post a picture of it? I've only found 1 in 887 silver US dimes.
