[aa battery]

After dad dad dad dad i said ok and turned on the light. My daughter showed me a 1908 Barber dime something i only have 2 dug. Its condition wuz short of perfect. How do people let a coin like this be spent for only 10 cents? I will try to find sum aa batteries for da camera. Yours aa

Re: how does this happen?

probably some teenager going threw his daddys coin stash and thought he'd buy a soda and pack of cigs. That would be my guess.

Did she give it to ya?

Nice Find WTG

It also has dirt adhering around the rim, particularly in the area of "united".

Some body found that with a detector. I would bet their rotten kid was spending their found coins, the same way my crazy granny used to .

In fact, if that were a 1912-D, I would say that was the one my crazy granny spent.

Except for the part about the 1912-D, the crazy granny, and the rotten kid, I agree.

I hate to say it but it could be stolen from someone local i'd ask the cops.

Nice barber. Recession strain strikes again. Too bad it was treated as an average dime, too

I assume no "S" or "O".

Great recovery. Some people just don't have a clue when they use old coins for candy and cigarettes...

Keep safe...
