Image: Damaged_1895-O.jpg 45.45 KB Is a coin like this ever worth purchasing? I'm just looking to fill in a few spots in a 20th century type set, and higher grade Barber halves are a bit $$$ for me at this point. Sans damage, I'd guess it would grade EF-40 or so. Full LIBERTY on the obverse, decent feather detail. Report this Post to the Staff

He has quite a few in VF that are pretty nice examples....I think you can find better than what you posted, but I think it depends on how much the seller is asking. Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like it was mounted at one time and if the damage is only on the reverse, just display the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Benji Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 07/27/2007 06:15 am I agree with SeatedNut, the damage is relatively minor and does not distract your attention from the overall look of the coin. I would consider it a good budget minded filler. Report this Post to the Staff
