theace115 299 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Bill, That is one hell of a find! Good job! Will we see that hunt on youtubes later? Thanks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LowPoint 1,259 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hey Bill,...."Cool" find..... Based on what I can see, that is a Barber Quarter, and based on my 2016 US Coin Digest, "IF" it is a 1914 "S" it has a value of around $139.00;... otherwise it's worth around $8.75 (Depending on Condition of course). About 5-or-so years ago I detected a 1927 D Barber Dime out in one of the washes around LSD;.didn't find any gold, just that dime..........I sold it a month ago on Ebay and got $86.00 from a collector;............YAHOO!!!

Au Seeker 3,153 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Nice quarter Bill, you're on roll with big old silver lately!! @LowPoint Gary, are you sure on that date for the dime, in all my books and from my knowledge the last Barber dime was minted in 1916, 1916 was also the first year of Mercury dime?

LowPoint 1,259 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Au Seeker,....."SORRY", my mistake,......It was a 1923 S MERCURY DIME;.... "Not" a Barber Dime.............Had to go back and look at my Ebay account ..........Glad ya brought it to my attention. Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary No problem, if it had been a Barber with that date it would have been a counterfeit or a die error, either would most likely be worth more then what you got for it, I was just making sure so I could keep my knowledge base up to date. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardtimehermit 510 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Awesome seated Barber quarter you got there, i just turned up 1916 Mercury dime a few weeks back. If it had been minted in Denver, good pay day. Happy hunting for the year and mint! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LukeJ 2,125 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just watched the video. Congrats on the silver Bill !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nugget Shooter 4,614 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks Luke and it is always a rush to hit old silver as there is so little around it seems. I have found some nice ones including a Barber Dime from 1913 while hunting nuggets in the middle of nowhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
