    Too bad it wasn't an 1894 S Barber Dime. The you would really be screaming lol Nice find! thumbsup01 That one is listed as mintmark far to right. It's supposed to be directly under the tail feathers.
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Man... that's a fantastic find at a park.
    Congrats RaZR. It's a nice looking early one too.
    I love the Barber quarter designs... definitely better than the seated quarters.
    But, I'd also love to find a seated quarter. lol
