What's the oldest dime you have found?

Halves seem to be getting harder to find around here, so I have been looking through dimes. I have had pretty good luck, with 11 silver Roosevelt's in my last box. I have been amazed at the number of people finding Mercury dimes and am always on the look out for them.

I was going through a box yesterday and notices a dark sliver edge. The coin also seemed a little smaller that the other dimes. I was hopeful that I may be on to my first Mercury. I was astounded when I looked closely and saw that I was holding a 1914 D Barber dime. My first, and probably only Barber!

Has anyone else found any Barber dimes? What is the oldest dime you have found?

Ok, I am humbled! Did these coins come from roll hunting?

This year I found 2 seated liberty dimes. 1891 and date unknown (worn slick).

Last year I found 2 barber dimes.. 1910 and 1913

And although technically not a dime, my oldest coin ever found CRHing came in a bag of dimes.... a coin from way back...

I found a 1907 Canadian. My oldest American would be a Mercury. My best bag ever had 29 silver dimes and 15 of those were Mercs.

I've only searched dimes on a reasonable scale once. And I found a 1946 Roosie. Maybe I should get dimes again...

I just found a 1908S Barber dime last Thursday night (5/20) while detecting in front of an older, small-town post office that was getting new sod. Very exciting! A first for me! Have not found one while CRH'ing, however.

Well I think my oldest is almost my newest in this case 1960 Rosie. I don't think people in my area had had money before then

Re: What's the oldest dime you have found?

hmm... well, I've found a few canadian dimes from the 30's, My oldest U.S. dime this year is a 46 rosie. My oldest dime ever, I'd have to break out the collection. I know I have a bunch of mercs in there, but I've only actually found 2 of them in the wild.
