Had to get out of the house and I'm sure glad I did. First silver of the year and it's my first Barber. Also came up with a Lincoln, a '37 Wheatie, and a shotgun shell. I scratched the half digging it out of the mud. Stupid move, but it happens. Still very happy with it. Thanks for looking. HH

Congratz! That is an awesome coin! I got my first half dollar Saturday and it was a 1908o Barber! As I'm sure you know, it was an extraordinary feeling seeing it in the hole!
