,, i never get nickles on purpose lol , always a surprize , but i was told the numbers are a solid 12/13,14 . ive dug 2 now with those numbers and said to myself this is a nickle and it was ,so..............

I've dug a shield, 2 buffs this year at solid 12-11s...but they were all at places producing old coins,so worth the risk of digging trash. I wasn't digging nickels at all for awhile. If I did it was only b/c they were in the same hole as another coin. lol

Just looked it up its the lowest mintage of the barber dimes , but not the most expensive , wonder why?

It's probably because that dime may have the lowest mintage, but a good portion of them survived, while a higher mintage coin may not have been seen by the dealers, leading them to believe many of them are lost or melted. So in reallity, there are probably more of them that are seen, than are the other dates. But either way, it's a real low mintage coin and you can be sure that many of them were melted or are gone for good. You have a great dime :clapping: |:confused:)
