Ok, so after about a week, I received my Barber halves. But there was one "problem" with them. The 1901 Philly I bought turned out to be a 1901 San Francisco. So did I finally score? And what grade.   Edited by CoinCollector2000

AG-3 due to the wear-through on the reverse rim...it has a nice G-4 obverse for the solid rims.

I agree it's an AG3 too bad it wasn't the 1901-S Barber quarter, now that would've been the score! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Yeah, a 1901-S Quarter would've be nice! Seems like a decent deal anyways.

Eh, not that great a deal, cull Barber halves, even better dates, aren't worth much. Here's a similar one on ebay, and before anybody points out the reverse scratch, allow me to point out the fairly bad rim bump the OP's coin has on the left. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201117090674 |

@chasingtailbar - I'm not sure I see your point. The coin in the auction you mentioned ended up at a price 28% higher than the OP's coin.
28% is definitely enough to make the difference between a good deal and a bad one.
In general - as melt is ~7.7$, paying a buck or two extra for a better date AG Barber is a good deal in my book, while paying twice that premium is just "OK deal".

My point is that two or three bucks doesn't qualify as a "score" to me.

A score to me is a good deal, not looking for like a million dollar outcome, but just a good deal that I ended up getting. Now, I may be inexperienced in the coin buying business bc I'm 13, but I have to say that I enjoy my coins as much as anyone on here. |
