It has been quite awhile since I bought a Barber of any kind and this 1915-S AU-58 finished a type half dollar set. Formerly in a PCGS holder.   Here is where she went. She is in good company.

My Barber halves are just a well worn date set, jbuck. Barbers were the workhorses of commerce for their time period. Back then, 50 cents bought you a very fancy dinner or a pair of shoes. Mine bought a LOT of dinners and shoes.

Thank you. I love the circulation cameo it has. It is a lovely coin. The pics made me decide to have it in my 7070. Your 1894 is very nice too!

A well earned retirement into your collection.

My first collection of Barbers, was Half Dollars. I used a Whitman Bookshelf Album. The collection was started my 2nd year in college and back in those days there were more collectors and a small group of us would make it to small towns in Ohio seeking out coin shops.
The grade of choice was VG10. It's still a great looking grade. Having put together a few sets over the years, my most recent set of Halves has proven more difficult than previous sets.
Double Eagle: Thanks for sharing your work-horse set.
