Great looking silver, and a great way of ending the year off.

Found a $100.00 bill on the way back to the car at the beach but never a silver 1/2 ,I’d take the 1/2 any day..time for a Yuma , San Diego ..trip ...it’s cold up here

I am so jealous

One of the few Barber halves I’ve seen found on Tnet.

Congrats on a great find !
Yes, best find of the day "on the way back to the car" - I've had it happen to me a bunch of times.

That’s a slick beauty!
when I first started detecting, my dumbass sis in law buried 4 Barber Halves in my yard as a Xmas gift. Problem was, she pushed a ruler deep into the ground, and used that to push them deep…. On their sides. As a rookie with a cheap machine, with a trashy yard, it took me a month to unearth the coins. The kicker? THEY WERE MY COINS TO BEGIN WITH!!
She did it so I could “enjoy my new hobby”

Nice find! An 1896-S Barber Half is a better date. Even in the condition your is in, it's still a $70 - $125 coin (AG2 - G4) according to PCGS.

[Georgivs]

We've got to figure out some way to be on the way back to the car the entire time we're detecting

Unforgettable find! What a season end.
BWD, I got a good chuckle out of the story about your sister-in-laws Christmas "gift"!

Congratulations! The big silvers are always welcome finds! Thanks for posting.

 

[JeffInMass]

Gotta echo similar sentiments- how many of us have had the "On the way back to the car" moments- probably almost every one of us. That is a great way to end the season and get excited for the next one! It's certainly a low-mintage, better date coin. Big time Congrats!!

 

[RVRoamer74]

Now that's a beauty. Great score!

Nice half. You don’t see those too often. Congrats!
