Oh, Joe2007!
Those of us who have played with coins for 30, 40 or 50 years still second-guess ourselves.
The Barber series, which once lumped both the goods and the very goods together, are now understood to be more complex.
The difference between a fine and a very fine can be a large difference in price.
The 1905 Philadelphia is a common coin in good or very good.
But uncommon in fine. ANY Barber half dollar in fine is a true find.
The rare dates are much more difficult to acquire. Often requiring years of searching.
That is the challenge ...
