Yesterdays Rev. War area hunt with cam9457, First Barber Quarter

[baspinall]

Went out with Ryan yesterday to hunt an area we had hit before. What a day. I dug my first Barber Quarter 1899. Sure is alot of Barbers surfacing this month? Also dug an old copper thats really worn down. I can read "gius" and the face is facing left so I'm assuming it's a KG II of some shape and form. Either way thats in the 1700's so I'm very happy. Also got a couple silver quarters, an Irish 1 P 1985, 4 wheats, 1910,1911,1934 & 1954. Man I had a blast, the 32 degree weather never felt better
Sorry the pics are pretty bad. I need a better macro camera.

Nice Barber Brian!! I've yet to find a quarter...maybe this year. I'd love to get back up to hunt with you guys again in the spring.

Thanks Debby - I really enjoyed the group hunts I have done. We need to come up with a large area for spring so we can all get together again.

SUPER BARBER AND OTHER FINDS.

Nice work on the Barber!

I see the profile facing left too, but what I'm not seeing is the "date line" on the back of the coin (if that second photo of it is the reverse side). So it may not be a typical KG--perhaps some other reverse type.


Best Wishes, and BRAVO!

You know, I wish there was a way I could photo this so that you could see when it's wet. The back does not look typical to me. I'm hesitant to feed it Peroxide? Maybe I can scan it and someone can photoshop it.

Sounds like a good first step towards an ID. And it'll be less invasive than cleaning it further.
