1901 S Barber Quarter. From Earth to Auction video

["Dr.Tones"]

I found a coin with my metal detector that changed my life. This is the mini documentary of my 1901 S Barber Quarter. From finding it in the ground to selling it at auction and everything in between. It has been said that this coin is the rarest US silver coin of the 20th century (in existance). Be there as I dig it up. Experience the process of what happens when you find something of value that you want to sell. Where do you turn? What steps do you take?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp476YDAmis

Another good and exciting video Dr. Tones, congratulations on the find and thanks for sharing the journey. I have never sold any of my finds but have never found something that valuable.

An awesome find Brandon. Most folks in this hobby, regardless if they have been detecting four weeks or forty years are not going to recover a coin like that.

The odds of making a discovery like this must be staggering, just imagine the amount of time we all collectively put into this hobby hoping to uncover a really valuable coin but it almost never occurs . But, then one day out of the blue clear sky it happens .

Well done. It'll be a tough find to trump, I'm betting you will.

Amazing find... I'm surprised tho they didn't suggest sending it off to be graded before sending it to auction. I have seen some of your videos before ( the three piece pocket watch really made me laugh, you have a style of humor just like my oldest brother) before I joined this site... awesome finofd and congrats. That one coin definitely payed for the hobby cost ........I hope lol

Thanks for posting that video link! Inspiring and informative!
I'd guess that was a tough decision to put that coin in the mail.

So inspiring infact was your video,
now i got to take a 2nd look at all my dug up Barbers, Seat'ds and other oldies!
Sometimes i don't research some of my oldies just log it in and put it in the silver bin...but now i will.

Awesome video!! I've been watching this unfold since the first day you posted the find, even had the auction site bookmarked and followed it regularly. It was cool to see a recap video from your perspective. Thanks for taking us along on this incredible journey
