I had a little time this afternoon, after all the cleaning and cooking for our Christmas get together, and my wife told me to go detecting. I started along a side street in the town I live searching along the sidewalks. After about 10 minutes, all I had dug was can slaw and 2 pennies. I recieved a signal between 88-92 and said to myself more rusted iron but low & behold look wat was down about 6 inches. This is the first Barber half I have ever dug and it is a beaut. What a great Christmas present. It is a 1900 o.

Merry Christmas and HH

Nice, that looks Very Fine to me. I haven't found a half of any kind...yet. I did find a 1898 Barber quarter (see my avatar) and a 1913 dime this summer. Merry Christmas, I hope Santa brings you an air tight holder with a black ring for that fine coin. :coffee2:

Congrats! :notworthy:

Nice Find! Believe it or not, but my first half was also a 1900 (minus the o). It makes it all worth while!

Keep it Up! MJ
 
Super coin! Happy future, may you get more.

Congratulations. That's absolutely beautiful. They just don't make circulating coins that nice anymore.
