My Prettiest Barber yet! Semi-key date to boot

[Snowjonson]

Today I went to a house lot where they tore down and removed a house that was built in 1922 on half an acre. I got permission to hunt there a couple weeks ago and this was the second time out and got a really shallow 81-82 on the atpro. I thought it was going to be a clad dime but down not even half an inch in really packed dry clay a dirty coin popped out! I couldn't even tell if it was silver because the clay was caked on to it but on closer inspection I could read the "one dime"! I walked home and don't usually clean my coins but it was really dirty and I thought it had pretty good details so I cleaned it up with baking soda and water.

Turned out to be a 1915-S, nice semi key date with 960,000 minted. The details are awesome but sadly it is scratched right where the "Liberty" is. I don't think it was me who scratched it because the black discoloration is inside the scratch. Sorry no before cleaning pics this time...

I'm no coin expert but I think this could be AU details? I know the damage drops it down a bit but she's still the prettiest barber I've dug!

Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Nice find. Who doesn't like to see a Barber in the hole?

A really nice Barber dime.Since you have already cleaned it some,you ought to be able to remove the rest of that tarnish with little effort.
