Eh, not that great a deal, cull Barber halves, even better dates, aren't worth much. Here's a similar one on ebay, and before anybody points out the reverse scratch, allow me to point out the fairly bad rim bump the OP's coin has on the left. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201117090674 |

@chasingtailbar - I'm not sure I see your point. The coin in the auction you mentioned ended up at a price 28% higher than the OP's coin.
28% is definitely enough to make the difference between a good deal and a bad one.
In general - as melt is ~7.7$, paying a buck or two extra for a better date AG Barber is a good deal in my book, while paying twice that premium is just "OK deal".

My point is that two or three bucks doesn't qualify as a "score" to me.

A score to me is a good deal, not looking for like a million dollar outcome, but just a good deal that I ended up getting. Now, I may be inexperienced in the coin buying business bc I'm 13, but I have to say that I enjoy my coins as much as anyone on here. |

If you really want to make a few scores, buy a CherryPickers Guide and learn the major varieties in each series. Browse ebay or your local dealers, find varieties for good prices, then you'll have a score. |
