I don't remember my last trip to the Barber. Before today, of course.

Back at an old home site in the neighborhood where I grew up, I started on a plateau and radiated out away from a center and managed to find evidence that man once occupied this site. There were lots of rusted and broken square nails, always a sign of something, and my first coin was a 1914 wheat. On a typical day, that might be the oldest find of the hunt, but I was pleasantly surprised a little while later with this 1908 Barber dime! I'd have to do some research to see when I last found a Barber, but for now we're just going to gaze longingly into each other's eyes. Unfortunately, the pictures are slightly out of focus; my inept phone just wouldn't hold. Or maybe it was me.

Been almost a year since my last trip to the barber!, my hairs getting long

Great find ya got there!
 

You can still see LIBERTY in the headband. With a magnifying glass, that is!

Very nice! I managed to find an 1899 Barber today as well! Roughly the same condition. I was jumping for joy because it had been so long! Congrats on your find!
 

Checked back through my records: I found my last Barber on November 19, 2011, a 1900 dime. I've found a Seated dime since. Almost three and a half years. Long overdue!
 

That's a great dime frostdigger, 1911 wheat IS my oldest coin.
 

Congrats! Gotta love Barbs!:thumbsup:
