nice job on the barber half dollar! It is in really nice condition except for the G carved into it. Why does it have a G carved into it? First initial of someones name?

 

[postalgriff]

yeah I'm not exactly sure why they stamped it, probably either for identification/advertisment or maybe silversmiths testing their punches. maybe someone else would know for sure

Congratulations on the silver, that 1916 S barber dime is worth a few bucks! about $20 I'd say.

CONGRATULATIONS! Love the counter stamped half, whoever stamped it, wanted to make sure everyone knew that, that was his first 50 cents made in his business. Might stand for George Kellogg, JMWAG......NGE

Nice find. Someone must have been fishing or picnicing back in the day and lost those coins
