Looks like you are on fire too! Awesome early barber!
I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. When I look at your pic of that coin in the dirt it is an "1884" but the bust is obviously a barber so my mind is having issues! Just glad you showed us a cleaned up pic!

I also thought it was a 1884. Nice find Tim and here's something weird. I have gotten only 2 Barber 1/2's and they are both 1894S.
