I have the chance to buy 100 common date AG-G-VG Barber halves from an older guy (bar buddy) for $7 each. He originally wanted $10 each, but with the spot price at about $6, I offered that price. He says $7 deal.

Opinions?

they aren't making them anymore, so, buy em. I mean, they aren't going to go down in price too much from $7. and maybe you'll get a key date or some nice looking coins outa the deal.

If they are problem free, not wizzed or defaced I'd say buy them.

$7.00 per piece is fourteen times face and seems reasonable as long as they grade g4 or better. A few ag's is ok but if a bunch of them are that grade they should sell for bullion price ie. $6.00 per coin. Ask him if he will let you cherry pick at the $7.00 or if you can meet part way at $6.50 or something. Negotiate and put CASH on the table (not a check). Cash has a certain allure (as does gold and silver). Sincerely, John Leckrone
