    Holy Cow, that's an awesome condition barber. I'm saying it must be EF-ish. WTG

    I've dug an 1894-O in about the same grade as your piece there, but it's the last one of only three Barber quarters I have found (and that was more than ten years ago!)

    That sure 'nuf IS nice.

    Wait 'til Steve (Millennium) sees this thread and posts pics of the quarter and half he got in one of our local parks a long time ago.

    BTW, thanks for joining us. I wasn't sure if you saw my invitation over on the US Coin Forum or not. You still need to activate PMs. Go to your profile and change the setting that says "Allow Private Messages" from "Off" to "On".

    I don't think I have a picture of any of my three. I'll have to work on that.

    The Beauty has yet to come. I've found quarters but none is in the condition any of these coins here so there is no point posting.
