First Barber Quarter marks first silver of '15

Not a bad find for the early start of the season here. It's in rough shape, but still a thrill to unearth.

1903-o:

My first Barber was a 1903 dime that I detected at an old "dude ranch " in the mountains near Cowles ,NM. in 2003. I was
stoked , it was my first century old silver coin . Nice Find ! (I have yet to find a Barber quarter or half )

One of my first ever silver coins was a barber quarter, that's an Awesome start to the year!!

I don't believe there's such a thing as a barber coin in rough shape. Congrats!!

Good going, man. My first Barber was a 1903-O too that I found in a creek while I was looking for bottles and arrowheads. Goes to show that you never know.

Nice way to start the season. I always like finding Barber quarters. I probably find 10 Barber dimes for every one Barber quarter.

IMO, the Barber quarter has the most beautiful reverse of any American coin. That's a great find any day of the week.
