Found this 1896 San Francisco mint Barber quarter

[Rhode Island Relics]

I posted it up on my Facebook page and I immediately got a bunch of offers. I have never sold a coin but I'm considering selling this one. What do you guys think?

I hope those scratches on the obverse are not Brillo marks.

And as Paul Harvey used to say, "Now for the rest of the story"! In other words, we would like to know how you found and where such as in a field, new permission property or in the water.

Congrats !!! Few years back I found an 1896 o and was real happy, but it wasn't the " S "

I found it in a new permission right near my house and no they are not Brillo marks but from the other 1896 S Barber quarters I've seen - It is top Notch

I would never think of selling it.
They are not that easy to dig.

But if you need the money - do what you have to do.




Not trying to hijack, but I think there is some family resemblance here...

Congrats on the nice barber quarter

That's a rare coin. More so because of it's Excellent condition. A rare coin will invite counterfeit. I would not buy a coin like that unless it was graded and encapsulated by PCGS. Check that coin against a magnet.
Congrats on a nice find.

keep it, you will regret it later

 

[crabstang44]

by the way did you rub the dirt off with your finger? should not have done that

Congrats on finding one of the big three Barber quarters! As far as selling, to me it's a personal choice- do what YOU want to, not someone else... GL..

Nice find!! It looks like any other barber quarter.. Sell it and buy a few non key dates then imagine they are key date!

Rare find, but it is a shame about the scratches they dramatically reduce the value.

 

[Trezurehunter]

Depends on how bad you need the money. I dont sell anything that I find (besides that I already have an 1896 s in my personal collection) so if I found it, I would without a doubt keep it) Thats a great coin find, and I agree with ATW. If I was a buyer, that coin would have to be certified by PCGS before I even considered laying out some money for it. Again, great find. I'd keep it for the memories.

That's a very special coin! I couldn't imagine parting with it.

 

[ScubaDetector]

i sold my 1893CC eagle and I didn't look back. I needed to pay off some things. I have pictures and memories. Nothing can take that away. If you need cash keep the memories.

Try selling, however dug coins are reduced in value dramatically.

I'm too new at this so I'll keep every silver at this point!
