Semi key S-date,And a tiny padlock

Dan B. · Nov 25, 2020

This is a wrap up of multiple hunts. Not a lot but it is good quality. I came across one Ihp,the tiniest padlock I have ever seen, and a 1892-S Barber dime. Less than a million of them minted. And it made its way East of the Mississippi.

Congrats on pulling the tough year Barber! Sorry to see the rough condition though. Awesome tiny padlock!

That Indian Head penny is a scorcher. Very nice.

Dan congrats on the first year Barber and a key one at that. Would have been a little sweeter for you if it was 1894 S lol. Don't we all wish. 1892 Barber is my oldest silver to date. The Ihp and lock are nice saves also. Good luck, Mark

It just might be. But it's the tiniest lock I have ever found. Thanks

Coming from a farm field it could be worse. But I am glad to have found it. Thanks.

1894-s Talk about a needle in a hay stack. :laughing:

Thanks for reading. Keep swinging and May this year bring your oldest silver yet!!!

Nice job grabbing that semi-key Barber, Dan - but that mini padlock is fabulous! I like Iggyks’ suggestion that it could be a diary lock - really fun to imagine the secrets that it’s locking away!

Ouch that it got chewed up on the reverse .

Even though the coin is a semi key date,the padlock is definitely my favourite find. We will never know the rest of the story.

But it is safe from the farm plow and will never be abused again. Thanks
