Default WOW....My first Barber Half Dollar.
Today I went back to where I found the SLQ.

I hunted about 2 hours when I got a reading of 88-90 on the DFX.

I cut my plug thinking it was just "can slaw" that needed cleaned up.

Well... I learned to never assume that again, because I put a small mark on the coin.

I still did the dance when I popped that beauty out of the ground.

I just can't believe it.....6 days ago I scored my first SLQ and today I get my first Barber half.

Holy smokes! I'm on a total dry spell ... couldn't find silver in a jewelry store.

Good show!

That's a very very rare find!

Silver halves are rare by themselves but a Barber is excellent.

Well done!
