There was a Barber at the Bank today UPDATE

[waseeker]

I finally got around to going through the 3 bags of cents I picked up at the same branch and one of the bags had 3 IHC. A 1902; 1906 and 1907. Now I'm wishing I had checked to see if they had nickels as well :wink:

Well it was off to the bank today to pick up my weekly bags of cents and dimes. While the teller was getting those for me I checked the reject bin of the coin counter and in addition to the usual Canadian and foreign coins there was an 1899 Barber Quarter. I then bought the quarter bag.

Final results were 1899 Barber Quarter - Reject Bin
Quarter Bag Worn out SLQ, 1946 and 1964 Silver Washington quarters.
Dime Bag 9 Silver dimes including a 1943D Merc.

There was also quite a bit of Foreign coin in the reject bin. Pics are included of those as well.

Sorry should have mentioned that one. It's a 20 Centavo from the Philippines. It's a 1944D and was produced at the Denver mint.

If my eyes are not fooling me, that looks like an 1899-S Barber quarter...only 708,000 minted...nice find

The "S" is on the back under the tail.

GMan - I looked at it several times with a glass and didn't see the S. I just checked a bit closer and there might be something there but it will need a bit of conservation to be sure.

Re: There was a Barber at the Bank today UPDATE Number 2

GMAN and others.

I finally was able to remove some of the tarnish on the 1899 Barber Qtr I found a couple of weeks ago.

It is an 1899 and not and 1899S. What appeared to be a S mint mark was apparently just some tarnish. There is no hint now of a mint mark. I'll try to post a pic later.

Here's a couple of new pics of the reverse with the tarnish removed.
