A few days ago i found this 1908 barber dime in my front yard. Im newer to coin collecting so im not sure of grade/condition of this coin, but it looks to me to have been dropped not long after being minted.

ps , yes i cleaned it. I know some people wont like that but i dont care :)

Thanks for looking !

Wonderful coin. I usually give my silver a bath in baking soda with the aluminum foil trick. I'm not selling any of them so whatever works.
 
You cleaned it???...it was worth about 5000, now around 2 dollars.. :laughing7:

No but really, that is a sharp looking coin...Ive only found 1 barber dime EVER, and the thing was so freakin smooth, it was barely recongized as a coin.

Great find man...I would be picking that yard apart!!
 
Sweet find. Especially in your yard, keep lookin! I clean all mine too. Screw it, I ain't ever sellin!
 
That's in quite amazing shape. Congrats!
 
Man that's a beauty Gierbitz. I'm still waiting for my first barber coin of any denomination. I think I'll try my front yard...

Congrats on the coin and in your own yard to boot :headbang: all I found was about ten dollars in new pennies lol
 
That's a beauty.. Congrats and thanks for sharing...
 
Very sweet barber dime! :thumbsup:
 
Awesome score on the Barber!
 
Thanks everybody. I've pounded this yard for a little over a year but every once in a while something new pops out of the soil.
