1908 Barber Half!! Bucket lister!!!

[Jay Banta]

I’ve been out for a while due to tennitis in my elbow and had to go to Florida with work. But it’s great to be swinging again!! I got a unknown date IHP and a 1908 O Barber Half Dollar last evening!! That was on my bucket list and can take that one off now!!

So I guess that will be a new medical diagnosis now..... Detector Elbow.

Congratulations. That's a nice silver.

Thank y’all very much!!! I got the dirt off of it and I can read all of “Liberty” on the headband!!! I’m way stoked now!!!!! I think this is worth the elbow pain!!!!

Those New Orleans (O) Mint marks are tough to find. That in itself is a "bucket lister" for many. Well done.

Wow, amazing find. I've only got one barber half to my name and it's still one of my favorite finds. Hopefully your second won't be as elusive!

I believe it’s tendinitis.....the previously mentioned affliction affects the ears! [emoji23]
