For the Barber Half collectors, here is the coveted 1892-o Micro O Barber half, just back from PCGS, graded only a GOOD, but still a rare and highly sought after coin. Recently discovered in a collection of lower grade circ Barber coinage I purchased.

OK, let me be the first...
YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And "Only a good" is better than most Micro-Os in existence, the vast majority are FR/AG. That's probably in the top 20-30% of known examples.
FWIW, I don't think ANY are known in XF and I think that 2 are known in VF.
Congrats!
cool coin. looks nice and original. what do these go for? a few K?
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson

Current Pops show it in the bottom 50 percentile with 18 coins graded from FR-02 through G-06 and 18 from VG-08 through MS-68 with two "+" coins at FR-02 and AG-03.
Sweet find though!
The name is LEE!
Congratulations, Jim.
I'm truly pleased for you.
Now, sell it to RLD14...
