Ist Barber Dime

[drustino]

Was detecting my neighbors yard & found my first badber dime a 1903 O. My daughter was real excited since she actually dug it. I put this in my little change pocket in my jeans. When we got home I headed for the shower and guess where the jeans headed ? Yep. in the washer & dryer befor I realized I left the dime in the pocket. I checked the washer & dryer & it's not their. Tried to get the agitator off on the washer but to no avail. Checked the lint filter, nothing. I need to find it, I think my daughter is kinda mad at me. Grrr.

Check the change pocket in the jeans.

That was the first thing I did.

Check to see if it may have fallen out before the jeans went in the wash..even check in between the seat of your car.

Also, a friend of mine bought a second hand dryer from someone and noticed when he tilted the dryer he heard the sound of coins..he took part of the dryer apart and foundin the neighborhood of $20 in change inside the body of the dryer.

Hope you find it..good luck!

A happy ending. And you didn't even have to wash it.

Congratulations on a first. They are beautiful coins when not really worn.

Glad you were able to recover it! Maybe give it to your daughter in a coin holder! One day she can look back and you can talk to her about it! Great story with a great ending!

Sure hope you find it, lost first Barber Dime in 1989 after carrying it around for close to two years, just a beat up thin barber but it was my good luck piece! Hopefully someone else has it in thier collection now!!

Take a pic of her holding it and put the pic and the dime in a frame... Did you try tipping the washer before taking it apart?
Great memories!!
