Since my coins sorter is out of order, I was scrambling to wrap a huge load of dimes, halves, and nickels. I took some that I had already "searched" and dumped them into a large zip bag to take in to work to roll and there on top of the bag was my FIRST BARBER DIME - 1911. One hundred years old and it almost got away.

Still waiting on my first Mercury.

I'll post a pic if ya'll want to see it.

DUH! :tard: im just kidding but of course we would like a pic! :tongue3: It's like what made you LOOK at the bag at that second before it got buried under all of the other dimes :icon_scratch: Luck, Faith, Spider Senses?

Re: It almost got away

would love to see it. How did you manage to miss that lady?? were you edge checking?, anyhow, awesome score, 100 years old :o
 

Here are few pics of my 1st Barber. Looks like someone scratched their initials on the front.

And yes - I was edge searching so I just learned that lesson! Double check everthing.

The ones that almost get away are the best. That one will be really hard to spend.

Keep on Rollin' !
 

Keep after it, because Merc's are out there. The very first dime I ever found in CRH was a Merc, and it was from $20 in customer rolls. I just found #127 this week.

HH,

Here is a view of a few dimes with the Barber stuck in - at first glance it's hard to see but it you study it you can pick it out fairly easy. I missed it because it was bright white like most silver dimes I find.
