Man, what a wild hunt. Congrats on all, especially the gorgeous Barber. Great to dig a scarce date and have that condition. Stunning.

Very nice finds. That Barber dime looks like it was dropped shortly after minting. The full Liberty in the head band and full shocks of wheat on the back. Congrats.

Dave, that's a solid group of finds. That barber is unbelievable. I like that iron chape - that's a survivor and dates to the last part of the 18th century. And the Connecticut - that's a wild one man. Big congrats!
