Found Barber with error.

[gibsondan]

Yesterday I hunted a park and found a 1903 Barber Dime. The odd thing about it is the date. It says "903" instead of "1903." If you look at the photo I attached, you can see the silver dime is in pretty decent shape. For example, you can see all the letters of LIBERTY. The "1" doesn't appear to have been worn off. It looks like it was never there and appears to be a mint error. Anybody have any idea what it is worth? I figure it could be worth more because of the error...or it could be worth less because of the error.

Here's a video I shot during the hunt.​

I found the dime with my Minelab E-trac. It registered as 16-44 and was about 5-inches deep.

Sweet Barber dime,I would say it is either a weak stamp or a die filled stamp (where the 1 in
the die was filled with grease or foreign matter)Good eye.
I believe you forgot the video

Congratulations! Looks like a filled die, don't know how much it affects the value, but the scratches really hurt it. Be careful about rubbing the dirt off causing hairline scratches. Nice find.

Thanks, l.cutler. Yeah, I notice the small scratches too. I won't make that mistake next time. I appreciate the advice.

Correction...903.

Very nice find. Hope it turns out to be very valuable. If not, oh well, you've got something no one else has.
