Just looked at the 1899 obverse; the "spot" on the neck is is easily blown away...dirt The cleaning method...running tap water only! They were found 1/4 mile apart in the woods. Rhode Island soils must be kind to silver!

Sweet finds. All I've found is clad in my yard. Haven't been out much. I need to start doing some serious research, especially here in lower Michigan.

I still haven't found a Barber, so I suppose I shouldn't tell you how beautiful yours are. If I was allowed to tell you, I'd also say congrats!

Nice coins, but if they were STRAIGHT from the dirt, wouldn't they have some dirt on them?

Good point. I neglected to add that I put them under running warm water at home; no rubbing or scrubbing. The soil was very fine (sandy-like) but not like the beach. The 1899 one was about 5" deep near a tree root, and the 1901 was about 2 inches down in a hard packed, rocky woods path.

Don't know why Old Dude's quote is below; I was replying to Steve in PA: "Nice coins, but if they were STRAIGHT from the dirt, wouldn't they have some dirt on them?"
