Very nice Paul. That is such a difficult date to find in original F-VF. Fine especially. This is one I just sent back to PCGS and they gave it a VF35 grade. C-mon PCGS, it is XF40 all day, every day!
Dave - You have to tell me where you buy your rock tumblers at. Mine don't leave such a nice "shine" on the coin like yours do!
I know that seller. The owner is blind and he also owns a rock shop. He just throws all his rocks and coins into the same tumbler then puts them on Ebay. IT'S GENIUS!
" ... Have you lost your mind... ? " ( is a better question, Tyler, to ask PCGS on that "VF35" ). That's crazy !!!!! If that is a 35, then sell me all your 35's that look like that. I've seen you get slapped more than once and I am stunned that they are so blatantly off the mark on that coin. Selling it ? I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands at XF 45 money. ( Could you shrink the "O" just a bit though ? Try "photo-shopping" it for laughs !)
Dave, you on the other hand have a "gem" of a coin there. I have a few early purchases I'd like to sell you. Who would try to clean up a G-VG coin to pass it off as something "finer" ?
Calypso, very nice coin. Love the toning.
Jon, is that the grade you're going after ? Its a nice VG-F, but I thought you were an AU 55 kind of guy !

Go to my website, it is listed in my signature link and there are no coins for sale so this isn't spamming, and look at my Barber half dollar page. There you will find 85 images of Barber halves that I own, almost all completely original and most VF. There are some that I still have to load.
Very nice bunch of circulated Barber halves. Jim, I really like your 1897-0 half, and Tyler, we always expect, and get, beautiful original Barbers from him.

I love how he always states "FROM THE PHILADELPHIA MINT. HAS NICE LUSTER."
He would not know luster if it bit him in the ass.

Very nice circulated Barber halves posted.
I really thought my 1892-O had a shot at VF20.
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
