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!
