Last barber dime got pitched in the trash, but found a new one

Nate in Ohio · Nov 8, 2010

Same site, same date, different mint mark. Better condition. Still sucks about the last one but hey, moving on. Also found a musketball? And a tiny little lead bullet. Pretty decent short hunt on Saturday. And not a single clad coin. :hello2:

I forgot to include this batch in the last post. Neatest thing might be the old fishing weight...dad was looking at it and was saying it's from the early 1900s being that the rope that is on it is before the fishing line was developed. Also a lure with some kind of writing on it. Found the bicycle plate or whatever it is at a relative's house. Someone who grew up there used to bike race, so it could've been his I guess. Not sure if it's before his time though. :dontknow:

Why did you throw the other Barber dime away !? :dontknow:

That tag could be a bike tax tag, ive heard at one point lots
of cities made you buy a tag before you could ride them. :icon_scratch:

maybe a 32 or 36 cal pistol bullet --black powder type see the rings on it ? -- the fishing lure spoon is a johnson silver minnow --used for larger type fish ---bass and pike and trout a lot

The mintmarks are on the ONE DIME side, right under the bow tie of the wreath. This one is a Phili mint so there is no mintmark. Wish it had an O like the last one.

Thanks guys!
