Hello Friends, hope your summer is going well. John finally found a Barber quarter--seems like he's found everything but! It's a common date, 1898, but pretty nice detail! Also found a nice Colonial(?) era button with a laurel wreath and intact shank. Some "whatitz" too -- your guess is as good as ours. Take care and thanks for looking. ~Lisa & John

Thanks, Basque! I doubt we'll find another... -L&J
 

I have one Barber quarter, but it isn't as nice as that well patina'd example from the 1800s.

Very well done.
 

Awesome! I'm dying for a barber quarter. Found several slq's and even a seated quarter but no barber yet. Congrats!

Thanks, Tom! I only wish all of our coins were this nice. -L&J

Thanks! We were in the same boat. Your day will come! -L&J
 

nice quarter! I love the patina on it. It is so cool when the old silver would wear and leave light and dark colors to really make the detail pop.
