Hello all,
Sometimes you want a better-date coin but don't want to sink too much cash into the effort. One option is to look for a low-grade coin that still satisfies. I picked up this semi-key half on ebay at a reasonable price.
Circulated Barber coins are pretty easy to grade. Anyone want to venture an opinion on this one?

You are correct, they are easy to grade. Obverse is good and the rev is AG. Net grade would be IMHO AG3.

AG3

Not good balance between obverse and reverse, but a pleasing, though worn, appearance to the obverse. Certainly would look nice in many displays, depending on purpose. If you get tired of it...I'm sure we can find a good home!
