Lunch hour hunt ~ first silver coin of 2009! WOOHOO!!!

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

I went detecting during my lunch hour today downtown. It's been raining a lot lately so the ground is nice & wet! After just a few minutes I dug my first silver coin of the year ~ a 1905-S Barber Dime! The poor thing is in low grade, but she looks good to me!

Here's what I dug today:

1905-S Barber Dime
1945-S Wheat cent
5 clad quarters
6 clad dimes
12 Memorial cents
small pocket knife
a car Key

The pocket knife is a KERSHAW ~ but I think its actually something more than just a pocket knife ~ some kind of tool? When opened up the blades look more like scissors! Anyone know what this thing is?!

The key is for a Peugeot/Renault car ~ a first for me!

I took pic's of the Barber dime before & after I cleaned it.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Hey Neil, congrats on your first silver of the year!! Great way to start it off with a barber.

Looks like the barber was in circulation as long as 30 years after its mintage. Still a great find!!

Congrats!

Those silver Barbers must have worn out pretty quickly. The three Barbers I found together must have been dropped in 1911 or 1912, judging by the condition of the 1911 quarter. But take a look at how worn the 1905 dime is. Ouch! That's a lot of wear for 6 or 7 years.

THANKS Dan!

Yeah, I think you're right! The neighborhood I dug it in is full of 1940's houses ~ plus a I dug a 1945 wheat cent in the same strip of grass.

Later!
