1914 Barber Half Dollar only 124,610 Minted hoo hooo

[Roger Mn.]

Well I go to one of my favorite detecting sites for two hours. A half hour into the hunt I dig an aluminum can and 3 ft. away another big blast on the headphones. A Barber Half Dollar.
After 2 hours I head home and wash it with soap and fingers and get out the coin book. Ya got to be kidding me.
I got an old coin book and it says $135.00 in G-4

nice looking coin, I'd say VG8 or so!

There's a PCGS VG8 on ebay now with a BIN of $150, so depending on the surfaces, $100 to $150 sounds fair! congrats!!

Awesome find. Nice condition. Great for your own personal collection or to sell to a collector. I'd be doing the happy dance with that one.

Way to go Rogerdodger! Bet that had your heart pumping! A nice find as you near the end of the season!

Those Barber halves don't turn up very often, much less the semi-key dates. Nice recovery.

 

[RCGoodin]

Great addition to your collection.

Thanks for all the replies and may you all find some treasures.
I went back today and took the camera to show you what I was detecting in when I found the 1914 Barber Half and no I didn't find any coins today.
