Any Half is a welcome addition to the war chest. It may be odd that all 3 of yours are Barbers, still I can see you very happy to have them. You did a pretty nice job with the straightening. Congrats! Trapper
Congrats on the Barber Half! Nice.
Congrats! Always nice to get on some big silver.
Awesome B-King! Rattlehead is a Barber half dollar afficianado...
You could probably get it really straight by putting it on a block of wood and pound on it with a dowel about the diameter of your thumb. I thin piece of cloth between the coin and the dowel will insure you don’t create any new scratches. Cool find!
Congrats on the Barber Half! Whenever I dig big silver Im like..."How did someone lose this huge coin??!!" LOL HH
Righteous find right there, nice save!
Awesome find there! Wow! Congrats
Despite the toning on there, that still looks like the ground was kind to it. If you did some Ezest soaks, a few minutes at a time. Then remove, thumb rub, and repeat. I bet that grey toning would come right off, with zero trace of your effort (ie.: would retain a natural color).
Barber halves are way cooler than the walkers anyway.......I think I only have two....
I would settle for a bent Barber half any day. Congrats on the big silver.

Nice Barber Half. I found a 1898 S Barber Half several years ago in Indian Lake (Worcester) after the fall draw down; I thought it was a fishing spoon
Congrats again man!
Congrats on the Barb half mine is 1899 my avatar.
Nice job!
Nice find anyday in my book!
Congrats on a great find !
Very nice, congrats! Only 3 in your career? I see some of the new guys on FB posting finding 3 on their first venture out. LOL
I'm still at 0, I've probably past on those "aluminum cans" now that I swing the ML more. Definitely a feature the V3i would help with!
Awesome half! That is really weird all the halves you have found are barbers!

A Barber Half in any condition is a great find. I live on the West Coast and have found more Benjamin Franklin's than any other. Congratulations on a great find.
HH everyone
Congrats on the big Barber...a excellent dig!
