What are common Barbers going for?

I'll probably be selling a handful of low grade common date Barber dimes, quarters, halves on the BST. What's the ballpark fair price for these? I'm guessing around 3-4 bucks per dime, and proportionally more for the quarters and halves.
Am I out of line?

Of course I can just price them and lower them until someone wants them... But I'd like to tap into your expertise 🙂

    What is low grade? Fair to AG and culls, or full rim Good's?

    I'm not in touch anymore, but that would help nail down pricing.

    Low grade common dates? I can usually get those for junk silver price at my LCS.

    Mostly good, maybe AG through VG...

    Common stuff probably goes for junk silver prices at that grade. Better dates, not so much.

    I'm selling quite a bit of nice original full rim commn date Barber's for 2x GS these days on ebay. They are certainly worth quite a bit more than melt. Don't let the vultures fool you! :#

    I buy at or near melt, sell for more.

    yeah... well, I'll probably price it at 30x face for the most part. It'll move, I reckon. :smile:

    Price it on the BST for the lowest price you'd be satisfied with. If it doesn't work there, it'll probably have to be ebay.

    I'll be satisfied with any "going" price. Not trying to make a buck, just cleaning out the safe, and not getting picked clean by vultures. :smile:

    thanks... they seem to be asking ~30 face or a bit more... might be about right for mine, especially if I pull out the slicks :smile:
