The barber coins are sweet and it looks like you got a nice one in good condition. Congrats! Plus...seeing that "18" instead of the "19" is priceless.

Great coin , Strong VF I should think ! I've only found Barber dimes - and no 1800's silver yet .

 

[Maniac Detector]

Nice! I would agree with very fine. Go back to that spot and grid it off, then hit it in a difernt direction.

That's one nice looking Barber. Most come out of the ground a lot smoother looking than yours.

Thanks everyone! It was found at a park that was new to me. The problem is there are bottle caps and zincolns/copper lincolns everywhere, seems like two to four every swing. It'll probably take 10 trips to make a dent in all the junk. It's actually kind of de-motivating thinking about all that junk, but there could be more good stuff there. In fact, after the quarter was extracted, I scanned the plug after I put it back, and the detector nulled. So, I'm thinking the winter may have shifted the quarter enough away from the iron to be picked up. Probably why other detectorists missed it in the past.

Solid VF+ (details). A little less wear on the tips of the wings on the reverse and it would grade XF (details)
