1st Barber Half with token & Barber Dime stuck together

Hello everyone, this is my first time on this site. Please bear with me. A friend of mine from our club invited me to one of his hunting spots and I made a great find. In 15 years of detecting I hadn't found a barber half, this day would change that. What makes this even better is that stuck to the half is a good for token and a barber dime as well. In the photo you can see the remnents of maybe some cloth. I seached the area really well as the dirt had been disturbed by a back hoe. No more coins though. Later I will seperate the items and check for mint marks and the token info. The half is 1906, and the dime is 1912, both will probably be S mints because they were found in San Francisco. I found a number of other items but will not post at this time. I also found a chevy token from 1954. If anyone has any advice to a newbee on this forum, please write. Thanks All

Cool. The pattern on the debris looks like a cloth pattern. Perhaps it was in a pocket or cloth satchel.
Nicce find

Re: 1st Barber Half with token & Barber Dime stuck together

You guys are just too patient. :icon_scratch:

I would have soaked and separated those things when I found them.

But that's just impatient "me." :read2:

That's what you call a token sandwich! I'm sure someone will tell you what to soak your sandwich in. Very good dig!

Any way you can post a photo of the 8 scallop token?
Going through withdrawals, haven't been out detecting in a while.
Kudos on the finds.

Re: 1st Barber Half with token & Barber Dime stuck together "UPDATE"

Thanks for all the input on my first post. I broke apart the half, token and dime. The barber half was a phillie, the dime was
was an S, as for the token, I need some help. You can see in the photo that its a brass scalloped token. It is Good for 5 in Trade
the back simply says Poly Cafeteria. Help if you can. Thanks

Very Nice :thumbsup:
 

Re: 1st Barber Half with token & Barber Dime stuck together

Pretty sweet find(s)!! Never seen a token in a pocket spill, especially stuck together like that. Beautiful! Any pics of the cleaned coins?

I'm in San Francisco as well; maybe I'll see you out there one day. Welcome to the forum!
