Shaved a Barber...

[Big Fang Coin Biter]

Wouldn't you know the only old coin I found yesterday and I managed to knick it pretty bad - an O-mint no less. Dangit! Sometimes you just can't be careful enough. Still better than being skunked.

Never mind BFCB...

It absolutely is better than being skunked !

I did that myself recently on a silver, it was simply done by pressure from me
lifting too hard...

The ground was rock hard, and I levered up too much too close to the base of the coin...

Aahh well, some days are diamond, some days are stone !:|

Good find buddy! Barber shop has been closed for me for quite some time!
Not complaining though. Still getting indians!

STILL a beauty. Who cares about the little nick...at least you rescued it from the ground and now it's in your collection. Nice dig.

Been there done that. I scratched my first indian head penny. Found it next to a curb in hard dirt and wasn't being careful, thought it was a zinc. It happens. Still a great find. WTG!
