Looks like a strong XF grade to me - some might say AU. One thing is certain, that is a high grade coin for being dug up !

My thoughts exactly , Barbers & High grade are a great word combo.

I can say that I treated it like 'the holy Grail'.

That's awesome, Davers! I would have loved to see you doing the jig over that one!

Excellent Find Bud!!!

32 years ago I dug my 1st and only Barber half. An 1899 with no mint mark.

Beautiful condition yours is. Is that your 1st?

Yea Buddy .
My 1st Barber half , in 2011 or 12 , the first yard that I got the courage to ask if I could hunt , I found A Walker , A Benji , Silver Washington Quarter , Mercury Dime , a Smooth 1900 Barber Dime, Even a Dropped 69 caliber Minnie.

Boy was I fooled , thought most yards were that way. lol

Since then "O" halves not even a clad one , I avg 5-10 Silver coins a Year. That said I hunt the woods mostly.

Oh yea in 1999 I dug a Benjamin Half with a 38 caliber bullet embedded in it .

Now after 7 years of buying Common Halves for $6- $10 ; that half is my 2 ed favorite Half Dollar I have dug.
Of the 4.
Good weekend to ya .

Man, that's a beauty !!! I haven't dug a Barber Half only the dime and quarter. Congrats on the great big silver find.

The Barber Quarter is also on my ' BGIS' list. Esp, one in Fine or Better condition but will gladly dig an 'ag' example.

Look's Dang good Man.

Yours is in Very Nice Shape as well.

I'd have taken the half Worn smooth & still been Happy.

Reminds me of the only Capped Bust Dime I ever dug , it was well worn with an 'X' scratched on to both sides . Thinking it was a game piece ; Maybe

P.S.
