I'd rather buy each one separately just to know what they are for sure.

Unless this is a highly reputable seller and you have full return privileges, I wouldn't even consider it.

What a beautiful set! I've never seen a higher grade barber set before.

This is a local seller, but I'm not interested in it because I'm only missing 2 from my set.

As mentioned earlier, what's with the price stickers? Along with the sharpie writing, the whole thing looks horrible!

I'm thinking it was from the previous owner, I know that the seller wouldn't do it, I guess it's because they wanted to right down the dates in order and keep up with how much the ones he needed cost in those grades, but it really looks awful looking.

Valuing the 1895-O alone at $1,850, but only $2,100 for the lot?
Wow, that seems like a good deal!

Yea there is no coin in the 1895 o slot, every slot that has a price sticker on it has no coin in it, I think it's overpriced for the set for $2,100, because I see damaged coins also some of them looked cleaned in the higher graded ones.

The price quoted would be about average. 66 coins for a little over 31 dollars each. I'd pass and put one together where I could chose the look and grade more accurately. That's not to knock this particular set, nice consistency overall across the series. I put one together, lacking only the "right" elusive 1895o, in EF to MS63/64 fifteen years or so back and think the price is about what I've got invested. So I don't think I'm far off factoring in the market value increases since. But this is only my opinion.

On first look this is a much better 'condition' set than those being sold on ebay. However, the price is in question. Some dimes are cleaned? How can you tell from such small pictures? If presented with this set I would consider individual coins. My Barber dime Set is, at present, much better. The strike of the "O" specimens is something I look at very closely. Judging by the dates which have been cherry picked I would doubt that I would find anything suitable for me. Yes, I would look at the set, in person, but NOT buy it as a 'whole'. What dates do you still need? |

To me a few of them looked cleaned, I could be wrong I haven't seen it in person, I'm finished my set, I just put a lower grade set together. It's not to hard but still will cost a decent amount to do it.
