Obverse looks just VG-08 but reverse looks F-15 I guess the net grade at VG-10.  Barber looks to be G-04 Edited by Mark1959

Mark's thinking is the exact same as mine including the little shrug emoji for the vg-10 grade.

Thanks everyone and I may have over paid just a little but I'm happy... paid 20 for the seated liberty and 13 for the barber.

The barber was about right - 992,000 minted. (Although cleaned will probably knock it down a notch)

Barber Half = G-04
The obverse of the Seated half looks very odd, I cant say if it might be a counterfeit but it is probably just odd wear. I would say VG-10.

I was a bit worried about the seated... it weighs 12.27 which is .13 off and is non-magnetic... is this enough off to be questionable? It has a...second lip around the rim... you can see it in the photos.

I see that lip and wonder if it was some kind of bezel that was around it for like a necklace. The Obverse side out that got all the wear? just a thought to kick around. Doesn't explain the loss of weight though.

I think I'm going to return it. The lip isn't added... it's part of it. I'm wondering if this coin was made to be part of a piece of Jewelry.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
