    In theory they should all have the same quantity of silver assuming similar levels of wear. I'm guessing that they are mostly low grade since they are Barbers being sold in bulk.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I would pass on all three. They are probably all slicks , barely G4 obverse on one side. When I can pick them myself locally though I tend to grab the quarters.

    If I were going to buy any, it would be the halves...but normally, I would stay away from these offers...Cheers, RickO

    You're sacrificing weight with collectibility with these Barber bulk buys that close to silver value.

    The smartest bullion buys for weight are 1960's dimes and quarters and 1964 Halves. Almost, if not, full weight with a low premium. All 90% silver, all over 50 years old, all widely recognized.

    Is there a reason that you are going this route vs cheap premium known brand silver bars (silvertown, apmex, mcm etc)? Or just the straight ASE route when premiums are cheap (ebay deals, dealer site sales, etc)?

    Cheapest way to get silver is to buy in bar form. Might not be the easiest to sell, but easiest way to accumulate oz. While I have a few bars, I go the ASE route when premiums are low. Personal pref I guess...
    Gold is for savings. Fiat is for transactions.

    Ditto to all who replied, but if I would have
    to choose, I'd pick the halves !!! image

    Maybe APMEX needs to sell some of those Barbers ...which... are only about 9/10ths weight BTW.. to hurry up and balance the books so they
    can ship POM's order.
    You could sell Barbers as regular junk silver in a hot market but every roll of quarters was four short to bring it up to weight. I preffer UNC JFK's at 13x.
    A smater move heh Rawteam.
    Have a nice day
