I picked up 6 boxes last week and came up with 29 40%s, 6 90%s and a pile of NIFCs... But the surprise of the day was a 1908-O Barber half in amazing condition.. I almost fell out of my chair... I haven't ever even found a Walker and BOOM, Out pops this beauty! Sorry for the bad pictures but you get the point... HH Everyone and thanks for all of your great posts and insight!

Let me be the first of many to congratulate you! Wow amazing find! I hope to find my first barber in any condition let alone that beauty. Setting the bar high for 2014 :)

Fantastic find! I myself have yet to find a barber...however, if you are a friend of tradition....on this forum they like to make a humorous reference to having received, "a haircut".
Once again....very nice haircut you got there!

It's cleaned, so not worth much, but still a nice find. Congrats on the haircut.

That's the best (condition) Barber coin I have seen from CRH. I have sold a bunch of these common Barber halves on Ebay and in worse condition they sell for $100 all day. If you sold it I think you could get $200 easy.
