Your 1905-o Barber dime is a rare variety, the "micro-O" with microscopic mint mark. In undamaged AU-55 condition, it would be worth close to $400. However, yours has the appearance of a harshly cleaned coin from having been in the ground and subsequently being wiped off. I bet you could still get $100 for it. Congratulations on a great dig.

Thanks for the comments. They were only 3 to 4 inches deep.

Bryce, thanks for the help. I stuck with conduct and am becoming a little more familiar with it, these coin were not so deep so they hit pretty hard.

Thanks Rhedden, I saw that 1905 has the possibility of the macro o but I could find an example to compare with.

We got whipped this time. Me and t-bucket did not even get a good signal. I told you once you got out with a Explorer SE your DFX would collect dust. I believe we have created a monster now. I want a rematch this weekend. Ha Ha
