Liberty "Barber" Dime



On my walk home from work, my eye was caught by a round spot in the dirt - this 1909 dime, as it turned out.

I'm told the silver value is about $2.10. As a coin, it's a little higher.

But how long had it been there? Had erosion revealed it after a decades-long burial?

How odd, after all this time
to find this liberty dime
lying inert
in the dirt.
