What do low grade barber halves go for?

hiijacker

I was looking at a book of barber halves. What should these barber go for? $20 a piece?

Did you notice that the mintage figures for the 15 and 15 D are transposed?

Very low grade AG-G common dates go for melt or just above... so roughly $13-$15 per coin or so.

Edited to add that I think your coins appear slightly better than the AG-G common "junk Barbers" that are out there, so maybe closer to $20 per coin for the commons isn't out of line.

Of course, you also seem to have some better dates there so those will definitely be worth much more.

I see mostly g-low VG here. When you start to have the 3 letters "LIB" present on the obverse you are pushing F-12. I think $15 a piece retail here.

You'll just end up wanting to upgrade them all to the minimum level of the best coin in the book, thinking, Jeeze, a book of VG10 barber halves looks cool. Then you'll let some sweet Fine 15 upgrades creep in, and before you know it, your whole life will be spent trying to obtain original, unmolested examples of VF30 coins for the set.
Once you get a key date in Xf45, those 30's start to look a little weak, so you trade out of them for some nice AU better dates.
6 years later you can rest.
Good luck.

Then you can start the second half.

The 13, 14 & 15 are all better dates.
