The Figurative "Barn Find" Thread...

[MBA101]

What I am talking about are coins that look "Barn Fresh". You know, like what car collectors find, a car setting in a barn for decades, untouched. But for coins, not in the literal sense of the word, as in most cases, no one really knows, unless of course you really did find the coin in a barn.

 

Post your gunky, uncleaned, beat up, dirt caked, abused, or otherwise loved coins here!

 

 

Get the picture?

What silver really looks like after 200 years...

First coin I ever bought as a collector. Still like the way the dark coloration highlight what details remain on her..........

Not really a 'Barn Find' but I bought it from someone on this forum, Deerfan I think, but I like the down and dirty look of it.

This one does look like I dug it up in the barn. It had light spotting when I first got it, but over the years it's just gotten more corroded. I'm thinking some type of impurity in the planchet..........

Petrified barnyard poop is indeed very rare.

Easy, now. I was just having some fun with the wording of that post and what is commonly found in barnyards.

 

But since you asked, I've been a member here longer than ATS, have many NGC registry sets begun years ago, and I participated in the last two NGC photo contests.

 

I am not a prolific poster here. But in general I drop by periodically and try to add to the fun and share what I've learned.

 

You will not find a single "bashing" post by me or anything negative about NGC, this forum, or any of its members.
