Welcome to T-Net donald pare!

The Barber dime is so cool.
If the dime has a "S" on the bottom of the reverse you might get about $20 from a coin dealer (but don't tell him or her that I said that...might be more)

The spoon is the find here ! A silver spoon is a tough find , yours also is in decent shape a couple of blips which can
easily be corrected by a qualified Silversmith ( not necessarily a jeweler ) It likely is "coin silver " (if you don't have a
Sterling mark )

thanks everyone , it is my second , but that one is better shape ! Im making a box for him with all the stuff I find in his yard , his relatives built the house in 1830 and he has a huge backyard I have to go through still , so I dont plan on selling anything but that dime was $23 as is , was rated as extremely fine condition :headbang:

I am excited to say I have an idea of the date of that spoon , the hallmark name is a match to Walter King
(1792-1855) !

Welcome to T-net!! That dime is Awesome but, I think I'd rather find the spoon if given a choice.

Silver silverware don't come near as often as those silver coins.

Two Great finds, Congrats!!
