It's Haircut Time Folks

Went thru box today. It was a Garda box code 5760 (for those who like this information). It had only 1 silver in it but it was a nice find. It was a 1895 Barber half in pretty rough shape. It still would be rated G-4 in the red book. It's the oldest Barber I have & only the 2nd 1 I've gotten from a box. I only have 3 & the 3rd 1 was from a teller's tray 2 years ago. As they say it's still out there.

Great find! I found my first Barber half last month, 1909, from a box. I have never seen that box stamp before.

Awesome find Gary!! I am still eagerly awaiting my 50 cent save, although I have had 2 10 cent shaves before.
Congratulations on your 3rd!!!

Nice find, I remembered when I found my first and only Barber half I bought $150 in MWR halves from my first box and every roll that I opened had silver then on my last roll I opened up the roll boom 4 silvers 3 of them were 90% silver Kennedy's but in the middle was this coin with a worn down edge. I took the coin out I couldn't believe my eyes a 1907-S Barber Half I never knew I would find that coin which to me is a coin that people who just CRH a lot would get one at least.

Great find!

I've dug a few Barbers (no halves), but I'm still looking for my first Barber from CRH.
