Not real pretty, but it's all mine!! 8)
Found this 1899 Barber Half in that sand pile that I posted about awhile back that came out from under our 100 year old plus boardwalk amusement park. They finally started pushing some of the sand around today, so I hit it for a bit and plan to go back in the morning! :yes:
Excellent find, Ron! A big congrats!

Not too bad looking. It kinda has a good even color to it. I'd take it any day ;) What an opportunity you have there. Keep at that place. I'm drooling thinking about it :drool: Think of the poor sap who lost that coin. That was one chunk of change in them days :yes:
Thanks guys!! This is to me my best find to date in my three year habit! :grin: Love it more than most of the rings I have found! :smitten:
Great find i would skip work to hunt a place like that. thumbsup01
Looks great. Maybe try electroysis on that one, well maybe a Rosie first. I mean to try it out one someday, on some silver coin. Congrats thumbsup01, should be more.
I love Barber half dollars. That one is a beauty, Ron! It's a really sweet find.
wow :shocked04:, thats a nice hunk of silver Ron . i'd be hitting that area for more , congrats on that oldie .
WTG Ron! Congrats on your best find to date!
That is a fantastic find Ron! Congratulations!! thumbsup01
Congratulations on the Barbra half!
Nice find Ron. That sand pile is really paying off. You going to hit it some more?
It's like it's been in a tumbler for 100 years :huh:
Real nice score Ron, well deserved for someone who doesn't stray far from the beach thumbsup01
Wow... I have never found one of those while MD'ing yet. RickO
Other than a silver quarter I found at my old High School and a War Nickel, my limited silver coin finds so far have come from this beach site due to the Haunted House tear down anD remodel. Been a fun ride!! I think it is pretty picked over now, but you never know!! :drool: :yes:
Beautiful Ron...Nice half thumbsup01
