After being without a car for 17 days due to it breaking down, I am now back in CRHing action. I picked up my order today of 2 boxes each of halves, nickels & cents. After opening the 1st box of halves there were no enders but after opening the first roll I saw the smooth silver edge of a coin. Looking to see what it was, I was both surprised & astonished to see my 1st ever Barber half looking at me dated 1907. It was the only silver in the box. The 2nd box gave me a 1964 Kennedy & 4 40%ers. The 3rd roll gave up the '64 & 2 40% dated '67. Anyway, I'm happy with my 6 silver halves from 2 boxes. The Barber half I'm going to keep of course.

That's awesome, nice work! I'm still looking for my first, they're sure not easy to find. Boy with the first roll being a barber I would bet money on there being more silver in the box.
 

Its cool there so old !! I have found 3 . Its just as good no many how many you find!!
 

Whats the mintmark on the barber? Would you post a pic of the reverse?
 

Congrats!!! I'm up to 8 barbers and a beautiful 1854 seated. HH!!!

It takes allot of crh, I pulled boxes from IL,IN,MI,WI and TN. Whenever family comes down from TN I have them grab me 4 boxes, that's where the seated and 5 Barbers and plenty of walkers came from.
