Dug all the B's Bells, Buckle, Barber, and Braided Hair LC

BadJim and I hit and old farm yesterday and I went across the whole front yard and got nothing but 3 wheats, So I wandered over to the side yard out in front of the barn, the first strip I walked down I got a 6-7" deep 12-46 I was thinking hmmm a silver quarter possibly, but nope, out popped a 1850 Braided Hair LC, I was shocked to say the least. Its always nice to think your digging a quarter and a large cent comes out instead! Couple minutes later I got a solid 12-41, was expecting a wheat, but surprise number two, when I saw a silver, turned out being a 1899-O barber dime

Little while late I got one bell, a buckle then I got the 2nd crotal bell and that was about it there! Jim got a killer shape key date indian but I will let him show that off!

OK that would shock me to death if I saw 12:41 and pull a barber dime!! Really incredible ... great job!! Got a little scratch there on your LC?? I've done that before on my coins. Congrats on such a great hunt, Terry!! Can't wait to see Jim's IHP!!:crazy:
 
Beth, the LC looks like someone tried to cut it in half, it is cut over half way thru the coin, and as for barber dimes, at least 90% of the ones I have dug came in JUST like a wheat, I cant remember the last one I dug that came in higher than 12-41
 
Killer hunt ! :beers:

Nice digs! Is that a cut down the LC?

yes it appears whoever originally owned the LC was attempting to cut it in half before they lost it and maybe even into quarters as there is a line started from left to right as well
 
Nice finds; and it looks like your LC suffered at the hands of someone trying to make change !!
A heckuva way to make two "half cents" LOL
