Below is my mini accumulation of Barber halves that I have accumulated over the past year. It is accidental that they're different dates/mints. But, now I'm sort of thinking it would be fun to try to get all these in a decent Good condition.
Any of you have any "accidental" collections of coins that all of a sudden revealed themselves to possibly becoming a set?
I also have a small accidental collection of barbers accumulated a few years ago when I could find a couple here and there in my dealers melt bag. Not the best condition, most are AG-G , but barbers start getting real pricey once you hit F/VF and above, so getting these for 3 or so dollars was a great deal to me. There are still a few time to time in the bag, but now they are usually harshly cleaned or damaged when they do show up.
My accidental set is "Circulated Proof Half Dollars from 1964-present". As I searched halves for silver, I began to find more and more proofs. After going through about $19,000 in halves I've found 25 clad proofs, 1 silver proof (2002). I have 17 different dates.
It kind of makes searching for silver a little more fun.
