Newp: Barber Half - Guess the Grade - *Grade Revealed on Page 2

msch1man · February 19, 2015 9:37AM

I don't collect Barber coinage, but I've always admired circulated Barbers that have a certain look to them. I saw one listed by a well known seller that had the look that I like and decided what the heck, I'll go ahead and grab it.

As mentioned, I don't collect the series, so I'm not an expert grader on the series and am curious how you would grade this half. I'll post the grade later.

Thoughts/comments welcome!

I guess now I need to pick up a quarter and a dime to match!

Nice and crusty with cameo-like appearance.....I'll guess VF25.

Solid VF, maybe in a 30 holder.

There's just something about circulation cameo, that really adds to the eye appeal of a coin.

TallGuy · February 19, 2015 10:04AM

30

30, shooting from the hip. I agree, it has a nice look.

JeffMTampa · February 19, 2015 10:29AM

I'll go VF 25.

In the 30 camp. Perfect for the grade.

35 all day.

mirabela · February 19, 2015 10:59AM

Definitely VF. How choice? Opinions vary. Nice, any way you slice it.

LogPotato · February 19, 2015 11:00AM

I know what it is, so I won't guess. Nice coin.

ARCO · February 19, 2015 11:24AM

VF35.

VF25...

kaz · February 19, 2015 11:51AM

Great look to that half, I don't think 35 is out of line.

golden · February 19, 2015 12:22PM

25 tops.

lordmarcovan · February 19, 2015 1:39PM

I say VF30, and that one has "the look".

<< <i>I've always admired circulated Barbers that have a certain look to them >>

Me too, and it's obvious you have an eye for that look.

TopographicOceans · February 19, 2015 1:47PM

30

remumc · February 19, 2015 1:48PM

Looks 35 to me.

lasvegasteddy · February 19, 2015 2:01PM

one sweet looking example there
not my series at all here
but could see this in vf35 plastic

has a sweet cir-cam look about it

congrats on a nice example regardless

I like the reverse wing detail for a 35 for sure, but PC may have dinged it to a 30 for darkness.
It's a great looking coin.
You will start buying more Barber Halves.
Wouldn't it be great to get a matching 01s and 01o?
Yes. Yes it would.
