Too nice of a day not to get out hunting. Found the usual clad, a very nice 1926 Wheatie, and this worn Barber Dime. Funny thing is
everything about it is worn, but the date. My oldest find of the day...

That true Tony, I often wonder about the last person to touch it, and how long ago that was. A lost quarter years ago may have been your meal ticket or more...

That is odd, all worn except the date. Wish the SLQ's were like that.

You are right, some days it's just too nice not to go out and detect. Awesome that the date is still visible on that Barber. Nice find!
