Today's four half boxes

I did four boxes of halves today after a short break. I have had good luck with boxes from this bank in the recent past, although my last set of boxes were nesrly skunks ( 1 40% in 6 boxes). Today was a combination of both: two great boxes and two near skunks.

Box 1:
1 1894 Barber half (my first)
2 Franklins
1 Kennedy 90%
10 Kennedy 40%

Box 2:
1 Franklin
5 Kennedy 90%
7 Kennedy 40%

Box 3:
No silver
1 1987 P

Box 4:
1 Kennedy 40%

Overall a very good day. I'm thinking that I'm seeing a nice stream of silver being shallowly buried by recent dumps. I'm going to try upping my orders over the next few weeks to see if I can stay in the silver and keep clearing the new dumps out of the way.

Those are very good boxes, hope you are in the middle of a nice silver spot
 
congrats on the barber, and a pre 1900 one at that!!! I am not asking for pictures, but it would be nice to get a glimpse of the barber to judge condition and such :)

As requested, some pictures. I couldn't get the wife off the computer last night so my original post was from my Kindle Fire. I would love to hear opinions on the condition of the Barber. I like coins (the wife and I have a canister of various coins we kept because we thought they were cool) but have never been a serious coin collector, so I have no idea how this thing would grade.

The barber, a G6 to VG8, I am no expert, but the coin is a nice one!
the barber looks like a d or s mm

Based on PCGS photograde, it appears to be G4, and I think the mintmark is S, making the coin a $18 coin (2008 red book). There was no Denver mint at the time, and the only "D" mint at the time was the Dahlonega, Georgia mint for gold coins only. 1894 barber halves were minted in Philly {blank}, New Orleans {O}, and San Fran {S}.
