Buckeye Az Silver


Recommended Posts

Got out today for a few hours at an old homestead in downtown buckeye arizona. In the past I have found a silver dime, old pesos, some old buttons and lots of wheat. Well today was the best day yet. As soon as I got it off the truck I got a 29, 30 on the nox 800. I expected trash or a clad but I got a good, old surprise. A 1894 barber half! It's in poor condition and isn't worth much but it's my best silver find yet.

Great find in a short amount of time, and remember it isn't the quality of the find that is important, it's the hunt.

Good luck on your next hunt.

Any silver half dollar is an excellent find in my book.  (5 years of strike outs for me -- maybe 2021.)

Does it have a mintmark?  Unusual that the Philadelphia (no mintmark) is the lowest mintage of that year with -S (San Francisco) the highest.  The -O mintmark version (New Orleans mint) is in the middle.  Given the condition the value probably doesn't depend upon the mintmark, but still fun to see where it's from.
