My first Barber Half. Key Date!

[Garabaldi]

Got out with a friend today and found
12 wheats
a 1941 British three pence
silver Quarter and dime
Silver salt shaker top
I believe 14K Gold ring
and 1892s Barber Half.
Does anyone know what grade this half is?
From the red book I believe its in VG shape, which is listed at $325.
First Barber Half I have ever found.
Thanks for looking.

Re: My first Barber Half!

Thank you all for the response. I am wondering if I should get it slabbed?

Helluva group of finds Garibaldi the big barber halves are a rare find nowadays. That sight will offer more I am certain.

Re: My first Barber Half!

Wow! Great finds all the way! That Barber half is a thing of dreams. Just out of curiosity, is that a "digger bite" on the ring, by the 'F'?

Re: My first Barber Half!

Great find. One of my first older finds was a barber half.....not a nice date like yours, but it was a barber half.
I would grade it like the other THer did.....a very very close-to fine. Can see all the letters of L-I-B-E-R-T-Y, but not all of
all the letters. Can see all the writing on the back. Rim is complete. Check out the price on the Fine. You have a nice
nice coin. Congrats.

I believe the ring may have gotten hit by a mower.

Thanks for the link Goes4 ever, I am leaning toward Fine after reading the descriptions. The red book suggests its worth $400 dollars in fine condition.
Thanks for all the positive comments all.
