Well I went back to the street tearout for quick hunt , earlier today that they moved dirt around so I went before it got dark, first was a skeleton key , then a unknown button then I got a 26/27 signal and out pops a can ,dang then other can. Again I get a 27/28 signal and I though here comes another freaking can , but no I see a black disc and I'm thinking dang washer as I wipe it down I see letters and I said omg I just found my first barber quarter , yes bucket lister. She in bad shape but still my barber quarter 1902 yes!!!!! 20180723_190833.jpg 20180723_193633.jpg 20180723_193639.jpg 20180723_193807.jpg 20180723_193819.jpg 20180723_210227.jpg 20180723_210239.jpg

She's not ugly, she's just got character!

Congrats on your first Barber Quarter. Still looking for mine!

Question: do you just kinda duck under the sawhorses on these street tearouts or what?

Jim what a great find (in any shape) the Barber Quarter. I have the dime and the Half but I just can’t find that darn Quarter!!! Congratulations and I’d hunt that sucker at night as well twice a day. You might have to take of work but it once in a lifetime situation I’m sure your boss would understand :)))

That's a sweet find, regardless of condition. I have found over (300) silver coins, but alas, only one Barber quarter. That one looks pretty good to me sir.

Good luck and congrats.

Hey Jimmy, way to go, we both knew silver was hiding in there. I'm thinking a seated will come out as well. Congrats on gettting that monkey off your back.
