Oh, forgot, there was also an XF 1904... but unfortunately, that was damaged on the obverse, looks like it was soldered to something.

TheNumismatic Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 6:14 pm Wow. SCORE! That was a good deal. Focuses for mint mark* I don't think I see any mintmark worn off or destroyed off... That coin payed for the lot! Well depends on shipping. * Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 6:18 pm Shipping was just $8... I'd value the '14 at around what? $80-$100, which means I probably made about $50 or so on the deal. Just kind of pumped to score a key date for an average cost of just over $13. There's a nice F12 1909 too, no major premium on that but probably worth $25 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 7:25 pm Every group of barbers, at G condition or better is a good buy at 13$/each. 1914 is a key date, but no way this one will get anywhere near 100$. More like a 60$ coin. These are some of the latest completed auctions on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151012268182 http://www.ebay.com/itm/230944434721 http://www.ebay.com/itm/360610418625 http://www.ebay.com/itm/160987990156 http://www.ebay.com/itm/160982000163 Of course you did good anyways .

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5206 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 10:37 pm There are deals to be had on bulk scrap lots if you know the series and know which coins to be on the lookout for. Nice score. I just picked 43 Barber halves all Good or better, all different date and mint markk for my set in a trade with a fellow collector who is more into hoarding silver so I had to trade a few more than 43 1964 Kennedy's for them but it will be worth it once my Dansco album comes end of the week and I get to see all of them in there.
