Have you checked eBay?

I see 6 as the floor... and I think we are at a 50% shot... possibly higher... at an 8. Not bad for what it is and I suspect several collectors would like to own this example regardless of whether it is a 6 or 8.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I really want to post up a true view. I really am curious how it compares to mine. If it doesn't show up today I'll post the grade and my thoughts this evening.

Well, I'm giving up on the Tru-View being available.
This in my opinion was a great Guess the Grade coin!
For those who posted a definitive grade, the G4's balanced out the VG10's. The VG8's nudged out the G6's by 1 vote.
This is truly what I call a fence coin. It would be acceptable in a G6 holder as one of the nicest out there or a VG8 holder being on the low end of the scale of VG8's. The reverse is very acceptable for a VG10 grade. This coin is unusual as the Obv. is usually the stronger side of 01-S's. The Obv. is a squeaky on the line VG.
Now I will be going back and forth for awhile trying to decide if I can get it in an 8 holder. I think the coin is worth 8 money myself. I know as a Barber collector one of the 1st things my instant reflex does in lower grades of the better dates that tend to not have a reverse is evaluate the reverse 1st. The 3 biggy Barber Quarters, 92-OS,93-S,96-S, +97-OS for the Halves.
The coin is Graded G-6.
If ever there was a prime candidate for a G7 this coin is it!

It’s fascinating how frequently Barber coins seem to have “split” grades. I often find halves where the obverse seems like a solid VG08 but the reverse looks AG03.

Or list as-is on BST for something around 8 money and see what happens. Lots of collectors would love to own a truly PQ+ 6 …. which is still likely to be cheaper than a truly PQ 8 ….

I seem to have the hardest time grading barbers. One of the reasons is the 2 coins shown. Both are PCGS AG3. One is mine, the other isn’t. The difference in wear, especially the reverse is pretty dramatic for having the same grade. The colors are closer than the pictures show. Different lighting and time of day.

@Vetter: interesting and instructive example. If I were grading, I would call the second coin a solid AG03, but too much wear into the rims to consider for G04. The first coin, though very nice from the perspective of “good honest wear” seems borderline FR02.
These examples including my 01-S show just how much weight the Obv. carries on a coins grade.

8
I'm in the 8 group.
7, even though that can't be the grade that was assigned.

Barely VG.
VG-10 is my guess.

Solid VG08. My 'guess' is confirmed by those who are labeling it at a lesser grade.
(Non-ownership takes away a grade...)

very good 8

Looks VG-10

Full rims, but barely on the reverse.

Yes, the reverse is better than the obverse.
I STILL think it's worth VG money, but the hammer fell.

@amwldcoin: great thread! This coin does seem like a choice 7; Barbers seem pretty strong at the moment, so asking a VG price seems very plausible.

This coin's not for sale right now. Think it would be a good one to toss in the bank for awhile!

It may not be by you but I can see this coin in an 8 holder someday.

I would want to call that 1st coin FR02 also.
