  I would pass on that one. Most likely whizzed.

  In an insane society, a sane person will appear to be insane.

  Yeah, you're right. My local coin dealer is on vacation for 2 weeks . I'm wanting to get a slabbed Barber from him and the money I've saved up is burning a hole in my pocket!!! I can't shake this itch!

  There isn't much risk to bid on it.
  
  The only risk would be if you actually won it.

  If it is bothering you that much donate it to a good children's charity, I am sure they could use it well.

  I donate several thousand $$$ annually to my church on top of tithing. Much of it goes to our youth dept where I volunteer. I'm entitled to have a little bit of coin money on occasion.

  Pass. Just another of many, many cleaned Barber halves.

  All glory is fleeting.

  Something else I've noticed is that circulated Barbers are just not selling on ebay.

  Beware the TILTED COIN PICTURE. I can make an AU50 cleaned look like an MS65 with lighting and tilting....very dangerous IMO.

  Well, the seller mentions in the listing that the coin has been cleaned in the past. I know that seller puts a lot of volume on ebay, but I've never won one of his auctions. Does anybody have any personal experience with that seller???

  My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
