Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 3:36 pm I'm wondering if now is a good time to put together a Barber half set. Dealer got a couple thousand in stock. How much over melt is reasonable for good, common dates. Thanks- Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 4:55 pm Not sure but good Barber halves don't come cheap. Picked up a 1895 VG+ at the Philly coin show 2012 for $33.00. Nice but questionable IMHO. Still I got one! Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 5:19 pm He is selling them at $15 each, all common dates I'm sure. Most would grade around good and problem free. Just a bunch of honestly worn barbers. What thinks the community? Report this Post to the Staff
thestew Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 6:03 pm I find this site to be fairly accurate when it comes to market value. http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/price...icesgd.shtml It's nice alternative to the Red Book. But I might be way off and this site is bogus. That would be my luck. Report this Post to the Staff

Most would grade around good and problem free. 15 is a good price. You may be able to find them slightly cheaper on ebay but after shipping youll be paying more, even on there though its hard to find them cheaper than 15 Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 6:32 pm A decent, nice looking Barber Half for $15 is good. Be selective and look through a LOT of them before buying. If there is an example that makes very good - buy it. No, GRAB IT! This is an overlooked opportunity, one whose time has come and ... is almost totally gone. Three or four nice looking halves are a joy to examine. More is better! Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 7:26 pm Thanks for the heads up! I'm suspecting that there are some decent coins pushing Fine, so I'll drop by tomorrow with a wad of dough and search them all. ;D Report this Post to the Staff
