filo4567 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/01/2011 10:11 pm Hey everyone, I found this 1892-S barber half today while metal detecting. I read online that there may exist an 1892 micro S version of the barber half (similar to the 1892 micro O version). Does anyone know if that's confirmed and what it might look like? Also, what are your thoughts on the grade of the coin I found? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 11/01/2011 10:17 pm Super find! It is solid VG-8 with claims to VG-10 on the grade. My retail price would be around the $275 area on that piece, so it certainly pays for a good part of your metal detector! Report this Post to the Staff

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 08:00 am That's a pretty nice dig. I have assembled a complete set of Batber Halves, and I am not aware of a micro-S variety. Sure feels good seeing that big white disc in the hole, doesn't it? I dug 2 Barber halves in our little town. Nice shape but not semi key dates. Chance Edited by Chancellor Sutler 11/02/2011 08:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/11/2011 3:46 pm Pretty cool find. Most I ever found while using my radio shack detector was some gun shell casings in my back yard in a residental area. Report this Post to the Staff
