Forget Bens, how 'bout Barbers!

Hi all !

I had a good day of CRH yesterday. I picked up 2 bags - ($1000) each
from my bank, and I edge searched the 1st bag on my lunch break. Yes,
I couldn't wait! Towards the top, I was shocked to find not 1, but 2, Barber
halves! One is a 1894 S, and the other one is 1903 S! Then, I found a 1944 P
Walker. I also found 70 of the 40% variety, and 5 90%ers. Needless to say, I
was ready to take the day off from work, and go home and search! Well, I didn't,
but seached the 2 bag when I got home with the help of the girlfriend. 2nd bag was
not as good as the first, but I'll take it. I found 15 more 40%, a couple of France coins (the size of halves), a 74, and 77 proof. Pretty darn good day, I'd say!

Good luck to all in your searches,
The Remy Man (I need to post my yearly totals!)

I wish I could, but I am at work. Maybe sometime in the future I
can post a pic of my best finds.........Hey, good idea for a thread
on here! Post pics of your best CRH finds, it could be one coin or
a pile! Thanks for replying Tim, and keep posting! Although, LJ's
pile of coins would mean getting a wide angle lens for the photo!! LOL

WOW!

Too bad that 1894 S half wasnt a dime! Would be worth a couple million dollars.

So the seated halves don't count?

GMan00001, I read that post about the seated half, but wasn't that someone who was telling about what a friend found rather than what a member of TNet forum actually found? Plus there were no pics to confirm the find.

Re: Forget Bens, how 'bout Barbers!

I have yet to find a Barber. Certainly I have not found a Seated Half.

Neat thing about this hobby is there is always some future find to dream about.
