    She's in pretty good shape for 107 years old.

    The month of June has start off well, I found a couple of Wheaties and this 1908 Barber Dime. She's in pretty good shape for 107 years old. Must have been lost early on...

    I'd say she's in good shape for 107 years old too!
    I wish I was gonna look that good a 107....but I don't think that's gonna happen.
    Nice find! She's a beauty!
    Congrats!
