1st Barber Half and Copper#30 to boot!!!

[JW15]

Hey everyone,
Got out this morning with OSE (Old School Evan) to a good spot that he generously invited me to pillage with him Following a path in a wooded area led me to score a 1901 Barber Dime and then a bit further up I got a screamer that turned out to be my first Barber Half Dollar (1899) which got me pumped!! Things slowed down a bit after that but on the way out I got another loud and proud signal which turned out to be my 30th Copper on the year, 1847 LC. The scanner pics as usual don't do true justice but here they are anyway, thanks for looking and HH!

JW,

big congrats on the 30 coppers on the year.
that's a great total for anyone for a whole year,
and you've got two months yet!
hope you get 40.

Is that some sort of mint mark on the bottom left of the neck or a random mark?

I think it's the creator's mark..B for Charles Barber. The mint mark would be on the reverse under the tail feathers.

I looked in the Red book and couldnt see it on the neck

Never noticed one before
