Beach Barber Half

[SeabeeRon]

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:

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:

 

[SeabeeRon]

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:
