1913 Barber Half - Raw VG 8+ Solid Original Surfaces


Yesterday, I had a hour to kill while my Dad was at the dentist. I decided to stop by my local coin shop to chew the fat with the owner.

While looking over his cases, I discovered a really nice and fully original 1913 Barber Half - raw - in what I would comfortably say was a solid VG 8. He does not do a mail order business, FYI.

Although I don't collect VG's ( I'm working on a few sets in VF/XF and XF/AU ) what would you think a coin like this is worth ? (**)

If anyone is interested in it, I could buy it, or at least make an offer on it. His asking price is $110 (**), and I feel that its a firm price. My buying it would not constitute an approval service; I'm doing this altruistically.

PM me if you want to discuss this further.

Thanks.

    Well, I couldn't let this coin slip through my fingers; I know exactly how difficult it is to locate an original Barber half, let alone one of 1913.

    The coin is now in my possession and although someone has inquired about it, its not a done deal.

    The coin is alot closer to a VG 10 than a VG 8; I could send a scan of it to anyone who is interested.

    The price, again, is $110 plus shipping and insurance. That's what I paid.

    Just thought someone would be interested in it.

    PM me if you are.
