A Whole Lotta’ Leon

in #steemsilvergold7 years ago (edited)

A couple weeks ago i got a faded “Barber” quarter in my junk run... i mis-identified it as a “Morgan” quarter and was quickly, and respectfully, corrected and provided with some info.

Since then this piece has been occupying a bit o real estate in my brain and i knew i had to see a better version of it. And that happened today! But fuck!!! You go in for Maples and always come out with the schmancy.

Check out my new barber!

But that’s getting waaay ahead of ourselves...

Lemme’ remind you that Fridays are a day of hashbrown termination and silver acquisition. And today was no exception. Leon was in fine form, directing proceedings and testing the metal:

He also performed the shake-that-bag-like-a-motherfucker test

And went over the books!

Did a little math...

And Leon sez: Good Score Dad! How the hell did we swing this!?

Can't argue with Leon, especially when he shook the bag like a mofo, that's how i test stuff 😂

He was listening for that sweet sound bro 😁

Dude the photo shoot with your boy is priceless! Personally I've always like constitutional although I don't have much anymore.

Cheers shippie! Hangin’ out with Leon and raiding silver shops is one o my fave things to do :)

Loved it @thedamus! I was laughing on the taste test...gimme a bite o'dat Dad!

I collect the Barbers too, dimes especially. Same obverse design on all denominations though, dime, quarter, and half.
Great silver shots👍

Found this one with the detector last fall. Must have been dropped early, good detail.

Heh hehe, he’s just so much fun :)

Great find re: the barber. I like all the history that seems to emanate from the old coins.

Nice detector find! I can't wait for the ground to thaw and I can hit the lake shore again!

Leons liking the metals

He’s a beast!
