1896 O Barber Quarter

[tencents]

Rooster told me about a sidewalk tear out so I checked it out. About 30 feet torn out so far. I found two silver quarters 1896 and 1953, one clad quarter 1990 a 1988 nickel two memorials 1976 and 1969 and two wheat pennies 1950 and 1948. Not bad for first day of winter 47 degrees.

I'm always looking for any construction that might get some old silver uncovered, this is a great example of what you can find.
Love that Barber Quarter!

SL52, Did you plant it for him ?

Anything a generation before the current coins is special. Proves people dropped stuff for ages.....
