Semi-Key Date Coin

[Rhapsody]

Hello everyone, I was going through some of the stuff I dug last year before I moved to Colorado from Virginia so I could put together some silver to sell and discovered I had a semi key date barber dime (1896-O). I found this coin on an old homesite off Pope's Head Road in Fairfax, Virginia. I just plum didn't notice the mint mark when I originally dug it then hastily packed it for the move (one of last weekends I was there) so what I thought was originally a really common coin is actually around a $75 dollar semi key date. Although I did not find this today, I just discovered the value so thought it qualifies for 'todays finds'. Check those coins for MM's! Take care all.

Thank you it was a nice surprise! So, lol, I reviewed my pictures and holy moly I do use a lot of hand shots, kind of lazy on my end will try to use a better avenue of display going forward (making a little velvet board).

Cool refind
I would say a Barber in hand is worth 2 in the dirt.

I 'dig' your philosophy...man I'm a cheese but seriously it is fun to realize you got something way better than you originally thought, glad I didn't sell it for the silver value (don't generally do that with 19th c coins anyway just the modern stuff you can only appreciate rosies for so long before I see gas money..lol) take care pepper.
