7th box maybe 35 rolls in and this beauty pops out !!! My 2nd ever Barber Half , both from boxes.


Made up for the entire night !!!

that would make up for a skunked filled week man! great find!
 

At first I thought the "Christmas shave" would be referring to the fact that it is December 1st and No Shave November is over, but it looks like I was wrong :laughing7:
 

Holy crap! what is this? the 4th Barber this week? Tis the season of haircuts! :icon_thumleft:
 

Cool to see someone break into an 1800's shave!
 

That is a nice looking barber :icon_thumleft:

I'm sure the other 6 boxes were just a temporary glitch.
 

Sweet barber. :icon_thumleft: With your volume hopefully you'll chew through the dumps pretty quick.

I'm still looking for my first pre 1900 US coin.

Wow - that's a great find :thumbsup:

A '99S is a better date/mint mark (mintage 1,686,411) and the coin looks to be in G+/VG cond. with full rims and maybe TY of LIBERTY so it has a little numismatic value also.

It seems odd that the only silver coin out of 7,000 was a '99S Barber. You just never know with this hobby. :dontknow:

Nice coin!!!! I still haven't found a Barber.

I honestly believe that people put their 'special' coin in the same container that they put their spare change with the thought "I'll pull that old one out of there before I cash this in."

Of course, they forget about the 'special coin', and it winds up in a box!
