some old coins, twin barbers, IH

[donkarlos]

My best old coin day by far. Twin 1910 Quarters a few feet apart. One near the knife. One IH and two V nickels, pretty much in the same hole. A couple of buttons, carriage manufacturer plate and Select Knights button. Never thought I'd have a day like this.

Donkarlos , Could we please get some close ups of both sides of the high grade Barber ? It's a bit rare to see them in that shape .
Outstanding finds !

I know- one was worn way more than the other. Unfortunately the nice one has a scratch on Liberty's neck which I don't think I did because I cut an extra big plug on a hunch that it was an extra good signal. I can't complain, though.

Nice variety on the coins. I have to agree that BBQ in the last picture has some fine detail.

Can you post more pics of silver a little closer?

What?! That Barber is insane! I'd love to see both sides. Did you do some sort of cleaning to it?

Sure I'll get a couple up tomorrow but here is one freshly dug. I almost like it uncleaned better as the dirt gave it some nice shading. You can see the one scratch on the neck.



cleaning: I only rubbed some baking soda on it for 20 seconds or so. Didn't need anything else.

I'm not sure. I still have it but it is the style of a barlow but much bigger than what I know barlow to be. It has wood sides (one side completely rotted off. The blade(s) are rust bound. It must have been in the same pocket as the worn barber.

I agree, I like the dug look way better. If not an expensive coin, just warm water and a gentle toothbrush to loosen the dirt.

gorgeous barber. Well played.

 

[donkarlos]

Thanks all. Here are more photos which are tough because of glare, etc. I wish you all the same luck.
