Barber Quarter Prices

Are these recent price changes something to be excited about? Link

or not?

Hmmm. No changes on Barber Halves in those grades. Bummer.

Dave99B

Hmmm.....1901-S quarter in PCGS XF for a paltry 23K? I'll take three, please!

Barbercoin

uh, yea...... the 01-s will be the killer [providing] I live long enough to buy one.

Either I die first looking........or buy one....... and get killed by my wife.

Dave99B

I hear you.....and the longer you wait, the higher they go,
sort of like real estate and Microsoft stock in the good old days!

Not to hijack the thread, but I see JJ Teaparty has a semi-decent VF20 example ($30K).

Have not really studied the repricing very closely...but I'm glad to see those increases.

Don't worry, Craig, its only a matter of time before the Halves are repriced, too.

Dave99B,

Wow, DO NOT let the Brits see that '01 S graded VF! I just can not fathom paying 30k for that at all.

I know this is off the Barber Quarter topic, but still somewhat related. What about the price increases for Standing Liberty Quarters?
Very impressive.

I wouldn't get too excited about increases in the PCGS Price list guys. It has not been a very accurate indicator of real market prices unfoutunately. Multiply by .7 and you are getting closer to real retail. I wish it were more accurate but it has a lonnnnnng way to go to get there.

All the Barbers have been soft the past year or so but maybe this is a sign of change before long. All are so undervalued when you look at the rarity and pops.

Barbercoin

Excited, not really. I meant either way..... actually.

I want them to stay underpriced "pipe dream", I know.

I buying.... NOT selling.

It's always nice to see price increases, but the vast majority of those increases are for higher grade common dates. I partially agree with the person who said to multiply the prices by .7....That is especially true for the 01-S in Good. Those can be had in PCGS holders for $5500-6000 with no trouble. A lot more 96-S and 13-S coins seem to be coming on the market...they key is find an "eye appeal coin." I'll gladly pay a premium for a coin I will love to look at for years to come rather than one that is only technically the grade marked on the holder.

I think the PCGS prices for Barber halves are way too low. Anyone try buying an 04-S in a PCGS holder? Good luck. I recently bought a PCGS VF20 and it was well over the PCGS price. Same is true for most of the tough mintmarked issues in that series.

Regardless of the price increases posted on the Rare Coin Market Report issued by PCGS
the key and semi key dates are undervalued...again.

It goes without saying that an acceptable 01-S quarter that wouldn't look too out of place
within my set will cost me a fortune but I seriously doubt that I'll ever locate one in a high
end AU grade. Maybe someday when a more common - - MS example shows up, I may spring
for it... looks like a "401K" distribution to me !!

Maybe for the commons, but I totally disagree when it comes to the semi-keys.

Consider that an AU55 09-O just traded hands at 3X CU's price.

coinkat

Sorry... but I just can not consider $30k for that coin.

I am collecting barber quarters in AU and decided from the beginning that I would not put a 1901-S in the collection. Anything I could afford would look out of place. For the cost of an AU 01-S I could complete several entire series of coins which would be more fun for me than having one rare/expensive coin.
