How much is an 1892-0 micro 0 PCGS AG-3 Barber half worth?

Yukoncornelius1

I just got my 1892-0 micro 0 Barber half back from PCGS in an AG-3 holder and was wondering what I could expect to get for it. I have an interested buyer and don't want to sell it for to little.

The grades of AG3 and G4 probably hold the most recorded auction results for the 1892-O micro O half. There is a lot of information about this coin at Coin Facts. I have personally owned about 10 different examples of the known 55-60 micro O halves. I have sold most of them to Harry Laibstain. He may have handled more of these than any other coin dealer. It's a great coin, even in AG3. I found an unattributed example years ago and it graded AG3.

Yeah it is one of those coins I have always liked, I bought it raw from Brian Greer less than a year ago and wanted it in a PCGS holder.

You did well, Brian is an excellent dealer and has been around a while. My avitar picture is the reverse of a micro O I used to own in PCGS MS 63, before I got my current PCGS MS 65. I only own one example right now.

Yes, I think you did well on the Micro O.
In a way, I wish I had held onto the PCGS 55
I had in my set... But the allure of DrPete's 63
drove me to pick it up. If I had kept the 55, I'd
be financially better off.

Then again, if the ANACS 55 that both DrPete and I
once owned had crossed, I'd have been tickled pink.

All water under the bridge. Now, my set is looking
for a nice high end VF (35) or a 40/45. One of these
days...

DLRC has one for $3500, but it's stronger than the one on HA. The HA one had a CAC sticker, but I still think it would have been a FR-2 if it were a non-super key coin. I do like the DLRC one. So the answer is between $2500 and $3500 "depending".

Edit to add: This thread is worthless without pics!!!!!

Your old coin was a super looking coin for what little I see in your avitar, perhaps you could indulge me with a picture of your current 65 example?

I guess I don't need him to post his old micro o as you currently own it, I must say this is a FANTASTIC looking coin and should have garnered a + grade from PCGS!!!

Yukoncornelius1,

The easiest way for you to see my current MS 65 example is to look at the image in my PCGS registry set, Barber halves with minor variety.

Here's the URL for my set, as I haven't figured out the multiple steps it takes to post images on the boards: http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedset.aspx?s=3724

Dr. Pete - just had a chance to look at your set. I hope to someday catch that one exhibited. Absolutely beautiful and great educational write up and descriptions!
