Yesterday was my first time out in over a month. Hit a couple of schools without much luck and was about ready to head home. I decided to follow a grass patch outside the school and was digging every high tone. 12.44 beside a big pine I figured would be another 70s penny. Popped the plug and a crusty old one dime looking at me. It was in pretty bad shape and took a hard scrub to get the crud off. It's my third 1901 dime and still can't get an S mint mark. Still a nice surprise beside a 1950's school. Good luck guys.
Still no S

Congrats on the nice find! If it's any consolation, I've found a fair amount of Barber dimes but they've all been from Philly...and my first seated dime was an S.

That Barber is a bit worn Jordan but it counts even without the "S" mint mark. Congrats 0n a very fine recovery. Trapper
I've been pretty lucky in the past with a few of my mint marks. Thouhgt for sure this would be the one.Congrats on the nice find! If it's any consolation, I've found a fair amount of Barber dimes but they've all been from Philly...and my first seated dime was an S.
Thank you
Yes it is.
Yes it does, thank you
At this point at least have earned it.Well that's a crying shame. As you know: We west coast guys do not allow our S mints to go east of the Mississippi. So technically speaking: You were OWED an S mint. Eh ?
