  I've been wondering about mint marks on barbers since I saw a folder that featured high/low mintmark variety 1894-S halves.

  I've been a longtime collector of circulated Barber quarters and half dollars, though primarily half dollars, and I've found relatively few folks in this niche motivated or interested enough to pay a premium for most of these types of events.

  There may not be any interest now, but someday...........
  
  I remember when early halves were not collected by die variety, except for a couple that collected by Beistle.
  
  Along came Al Overton and the rest is history.
  
  Hopefully, there is someone doing some research and maybe one day will publish.
  
  Then there will be more interest.
  
  There is slight interest in some right now, including 92-0 micro o half, which once was listed in the GB and then delisted. It is back now.
  
  It is all a matter of sparking collectors' interests.

  I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
