I'll go with a Barber, too - a 1900 plain...

Ok Neil, I'm back from my Peyote induced Remote Viewing trance. The gutters could use a little
cleaning, but don't climb that ladder while your inner ear is making you walk to the left. :laughing7:

Re: Contest Time..... I pulled a HALF DOLLAR out today..... Guess The Year & Mint

well can't win (nit from ill) but with 1886 to 1905 IH coins popping up -- the ideal would be a similar date range to then half -- not lets see which half had the highest mintage .

Re: Contest Time..... I pulled a HALF DOLLAR out today..... Guess The Year & Mi

Lets break this down. Your IH were 1886-1905 and 10' away. From your reaction when you found your seated dime, I am going to say you would not have held back and made a contest with it so that rules out 1886 to 1891. With the IHs so close to the half, I am going to say Barber.

Barbers where struck between 1892 and 1915. Since you made emphasis on the range of your IHs that to me narrows the window down to 1892-1905. Since you also capitalized "MINT MARK", I am going to assume it has one. Out of all the Barber Halves from 1892-1905, w/mint marks, the 1900S had the most minted with 2,724,000.

Therefore, I am going to guess you found a "1900S Barber Half".

What did I win?!?!? 8)
