Default First Barber Dime Ever Perfect

Got this last week from a new property I just got permission to hunt. Was only hunting about 20 mins and hit this barber. It was in a small leather pouch that looked like a finger from a leather glove. It took me about 10 mins to find it cause originally thought it was a piece of wood and tossed it to the side. This place has more trash in the ground then I have ever seen so it's gonna take some time to clean it out. Just bought a 5" excelerator coil hope this helps. I think this place is gonna be good if I can get through the trash.

Default A beaut

WW that's gotta be one of the most beautiful Barber dimes I have
seen to come out of the ground. Looks like it was dropped the day it was
minted. Now is there any way you could invert that picture
