Did anyone notice that the coin is in a NGC holder and the description lists a PCGS Number!!! Also, I clicked on the item revision for this item and pasted the revision below (seems the seller used a stock photo)... Revision summary for item # 280821057174 The seller has revised the following item information: Date Time Revised Information Apr-30-12 07:29:31 PDT Store Category Apr-30-12 07:29:31 PDT Pre-Filled Item Information Added Apr-30-12 07:29:31 PDT Stock Photo Added The seller may make revisions during the listing period. However, the seller cannot change some of the information, such as format or duration of the listing. Learn more |

On a related note, I've been looking for a really sharp-looking Barber half dollar for my 7070 album for awhile now and after seeing this beauty I just felt it was time to take a gamble and see about getting one. No, I didn't just buy the one in the auction I linked to above, but I did just buy the following coin for less than 1/10th the price:   The pictures are the seller's, so I won't see the coin in person for a week or so. The coin wasn't listed as being proof (or even proof-like), but it certainly looks that way to me. Lots of what appear to be milk spots, but the details are still incredibly crisp to my eye, and that's all I really care about for my type album. Even if it isn't a proof, the price I paid is less than what an AU50 is listed for on numismedia.com, so I think I'll end up doing OK with it. The seller has over 2800 FB with an approval rating of 99.8%, btw, so I'm not too worried about the coin being a fake or getting totally ripped off, although I am prepared to find out that I somehow managed to overpay a bit anyway. |

That 1913 is one very nice proof. If it was a cameo that would the icing on the cake. Looks like a nice 1908-D barber. If you get a chance, post some pictures of the coin when you receive it.

All right, I'll give the seller bonus points for speedy shipping... I just got the Barber half dollar I won on ebay the other day. No, it's not the one I linked to in my original post -- it's the one I included pictures of later in the thread that I paid just over $300 for. It looks fantastic in hand, but as always the harsh light and macro lens reveals a multitude of flaws:   I was thinking it might just possibly be a proof coin based on the seller's pictures, but now I'm pretty sure it's just another dipped and/or polished coin (which I knew would likely be the case). Still, I'm happy with it for the price I paid, especially since this is destined for my 7070 album and not for slabbing. |
