Had a quick hunt today. The dirt was brick-city so I went to the spot with the most shade. Still like brick but got an Indian 19xx and eventually another 1892. Then I got a signal that did not repeat at any other angle, but it sounded real nice. What popped out is a coin so nice I wouldn't believe it was dug unless I unearthed it myself .

Enjoy! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1440450763.184796.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1440450775.455288.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1440450824.676906.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1440450840.499203.webp!

Strikingly Nice... particularly for a Barber.

Must have been dropped on the way home from the bank, after a new mint shipment.
 

Looks like mine except for the date, lol.
Nice work buddy!
 

Had to put my shades on to look at that.....OH THE GLARE!

Well done!
 

Nice. I've dug a few over the years that still had that mint luster. A beautiful coin.
 

Holy Smokes! Were you digging in the bank's road easement?:icon_scratch: That is perfect!
 

That Barber is a real blazer! Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

I've found em like that too literally looks like it was tossed out yesterday...great find though man ur still killin it!
 

Scrappy, that is one darned fine dime to be proud of! This could end up being part of a display you may wish to build.
 

Sweet condition on that old Barber. I wonder if the grading services would assess such a coin as "environmentally damaged."
 

Scrappy, that very well may be the best condition I've ever seen of any coin coming out of the ground- looks like the guy who made it stole it and then lost it- simply amazing!! Congrats!

Incredibly beautiful detail on that one! Congrats!

Wow and double Wow!!!!
 

I don't see what all the hub bub is, it's ok I guess.


Lol jk buddy, that's a nice one!
Good job on silver 374983
 

Absolutely beautiful! Congrats!
 

That is a shiny one. Very nice coin.
 

Had to put my shades on to look at that.....OH THE GLARE!

Well done!

Yep, in the brimstone and brick-like material it came from I was like WTF is that?!?! It's burned in my eyeballs;)
