Purchased from topdollarpaid (Sun City Coin) raw, and just got the grade today.

I really don't collect Barbers, but I just liked it and bought it:

    Beautiful....and I don't care for barbers that much.

    Nice having a sub with no bb's this time image

    Perhaps the image is a bit overexposed, but the coin does not look to have original surfaces to me and appears to have possibly been treated at one time to lighten those surfaces.

    Looks like a text book XF 45.

    Nice coin.

    It might have been gently cleaned, generations ago. Nevertheless, I like the look of it and may be willing to give it a sticker.

    A "Longy" sticker or a CAC sticker from the consortium? image

    Too splotchy for my tastes.

    Hmmmm. I have to admit I'm not crazy about the toning or what appears to be possible burnishing of the eagle.

    Classic XF-45...lots of crust with significant eye appeal...for those that like mid-grade Barber halves. Congrats on the acquisition...you done good!
