Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 11:08 pm I still can't believe this one popped out of my cash register, but the coin is the proof. A girl came in today to buy some cigarettes, had to pay in change (not uncommon the Thursday before payday), but when she dumped the change out of her zip-lock bag, this one instantly caught my eye. I may have been a bit evil as I didn't say anything to her and instead just counted the change out as if nothing was out of the ordinary, but I kinda wanted that dime! 1911 Barber dime, I'd say VG. I just wonder which relative is going to find their dime missing Report this Post to the Staff

justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 11:45 pm looks like it may of been harshly cleaned on the front. lots of scratches on it. a vg 8 maybe 10-details imo. for 10 cents a total score . might this be the start of an affair with Barber dimes? let me warn you, they are addicting.
