Murphy Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 12:54 pm Quote: It's not just that the Barbers were carried around more. They were the result of some major Mint coin redesign to facilitate massively increasing output with minimal strike. A lot less circulation was able to render a Barber "lowball" compared to most other US Mint issues before or even since. Thanks. I never thought about a weak strike. I also wonder if the lowball Barbers, along with other Silver coinage, could be attributed to the fact that Silver is softer and would wear faster than newer clad coins? Report this Post to the Staff

I do want to make it clear that it was okay to start a new thread.

As of right now, the only really active sets are crown-sized coins - Morgans, Peace and Ikes. And with the first two, the bar has already been set pretty much as low as it can go.

Its the only way rarer types make their way to me! Lowball is good because without them I couldnt afford to have a type specimen of such coins. Report this Post to the Staff
