A few "dug" barber coins

Here is my collection of barber coins found with a metal detector since 1999. "Good ones" include the two 1893-p dimes in the upper left corner, both in AU grade, found in the same hole; the near-mint 1899-p (top row, 5th from left), and the 1903-S (2nd row, 3rd from left). Of the coins found here, the deepest was 12 inches, and the least deep was laying on top of the dirt. Most were 1.5 to 6 inches down. I haven't had such good luck with earlier silver coins, but these are among my favorite finds.

CHA-CHING' I've only found 2 barber dimes a 1904S and 1909s and no Barber halves. I guess we need to go TH'ing together so you can show me that (SILVER) spot. Holyfield

Hey coinshooter, when should I come out there and go beach-hunting?

So we can pool our finds and show these Eastern upstarts something special ;)

You'll get your fair share Chiz. I found my 1904S in sand and was only 5 inches deep. Just please remember who your friends are when you find that (Old Hidden Cache). Holyfield

Re: A few "dug" barber coins

Very nice collection, that has my two barbers beat all to hell!! Hey coinshooter, one of my barbers came from a park in Ramona, California, and it was only two inches down. The way it read and the depth I figured it for a modern penny.

Beautiful collection. I think that's why I have never seriously considered selling any treasures I might recover. Now, where is that Barber notch on my GPI 2500? JIM
