I was hunting above a Colorado mining town by an old foundation and dug outhouse and popped this dime out. A 1901 S Barber. I knew rain was forecast, but when the snow hit and continued, I quit and looked up this dime and found out the mintage was 593, 022, a semi key date. I could also read "Liberty" and suddenly no longer cared that she was a Barber and not Seated. (A holed 1863 Indian was pulled too, my first holed coin.)

1901 - S Barber in VF+ condition. That's worth more than your average Barber. :thumbsup:

Congrats on the fantastic Barber! If you check out PCGS Photograde guidelines, I'd say your coin is very close to XF- that makes it about a $500 coin- certainly not your average find! Awesome- I'm very happy for you! Hope you find many more!
