Question for all ya Barber people.....
Looking over some barbers yesterday for my VG half Set, which I added the 1908 & 1903-S yesterday for $10 & $11 each.....
They had a 1897-S in solid VG with a nice overall eye appeal. Nice original looking, but nothing specatular.....
They wanted $230 for this.....
Thoughts on this, it seems expensive to me.....

Raven,
I also agree with Tyler ... the ask price isn't out of line provided its problem free.
Good luck. Compare it to Tom's F12 ( nice coin by the way), there shouldn't be too significant a difference between the VG and the F12.
Let us know how you make out.

I would say the 1897-S is very similiar to these coins..... Color wise the 1908.....
Here's an example of an ANACS G-6 97-S that I sold & the G-6 is a little "iffy" if you ask me. The obv looks ok for a G-4 but the wear on the rev rims is AG and I can't see calling it G-4, never mind G-6, with merged rims.
Glad to see somebody thinks that might be a bit high.....
sorry wrong thread
Wow, this is an old one!
Old but nice to see some old posts by MFH! Still a tough coin BTW!
Dug up an old thread here. Still slowly working on this set
