What a beauty!

The coin lost most of its value once you polished it. But as long as you like the way it looks, that’s all that matters.

True...and no plans to sell it. It has more adrenaline and pride/excitement value than monetary for me.

Were you hunting the mint? LOL.

Great coin. Congrats!

Hi Iffy! LOL The lost keys story WAS at Pound the Ground 2. I did find a Barber half there but a seeded hunt doesn’t count as a true find for me...I disappointed myself there with only 4 coin finds but did find a button that I will post for more info...and a ring..not too precious but fun. The woods find of the Barber dime was a really exciting find. Hi neighbor!

Yes, I was wondering the same thing, although under the eye magnifier it has more small scratches than it looks in the picture.I wonder if the toothbrush cleaning did that,

Yea Ill bet the T Brush placed many micro scratches on it , I been there done that , my 1'st Barber Dime 1999 1903 'O' , I scrubbed the heck out of that thing & with my OCD it still worries me . I hope some of the lines have tarnished over in the last 20 years .

Glad your happy with your first. + Way better than a Shovel strike.
