<p>[QUOTE="detectorben, post: 4528309, member: 89073"]Interesting thought. I had not considered that. This coin was actually stuck to one of the other barber dimes that came out of the hole and the barber dime is definitely authentic. However I guess that doesn't mean this coin is. I wonder if there is any other signs or details I can look for to confirm if it is real or counterfeit? I am pretty confident it is silver as it came out of the dirt very shiny and just a quick squirt of water washed the dirt away which is usually the case with all silver coins I dig. These coins were dug in a spill about 8 inches down so with info coupled with the condition and detail on the coins leads me to believe they were dropped a long time ago. Likely shortly after the 1906 dime was minted as it has very little wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
