Barber Half Collectors - the BCCS needs your help

The BCCS (Barber Coin Collectors Society) is currently running 2 surveys, which when completed, will offer the Barber half collector a much more realistic Scarcity Ratings Survey, than what is currently being offered on the BCCS website. The current BCCS Rarity Ratings Survey, for Barber halves, is over 10 years old......an updated version is desperately needed. The survey is open to both BCCS members and non BCCS members.
The first survey will be asking the participant for basically an inventory of their current Barber half holdings. Information such as dates, grades, # of coins owned in each date and grade, will be asked. The second survey will ask the participant to rate specific (not every date will be included here) Barber half dates for scarcity. A Scarcity Ratings chart, which rates coins on a scale of R1 (common) thru R8 (Unique, or nearly so), will be used for the survey.
I would like to thank everyone in advance, all those Barber half collectors, who take part in the BCCS surveys. The information gathered in these surveys will go a long way in establishing a true Rarity Ratings Survey for the coins we love. The deadline for the surveys is April 15, 2007.

Dan,
You know I'll take the survey, however the cut off date is just around the corner;
wouldn't the end of April have been a more convenient date time frame,
considering the currently outdated survey is already ten years old ? What's
wrong with a couple of extra weeks ? The more collectors who participate,
the more accurate this survey will be, IMHO.
That would have given collectors a little more breathing room in getting
this information compiled. Just taking the survey for the Quarter Dollars
was very time consuming. I assume the Half Dollar survey will be just
as encompassing.

Just completed the two surveys.
Remember : You don't have to be a member to participate; nor are you required to complete both the POP survey and the Rarity survey.
Two more weeks and the BCCS survey will close.
