Between circulated Barbers or Mint State examples of the other three, which will be the best value for the money? I know that's kind of a broad question, but I'm not sure how else to word it.


That actually explains your desire very nicely. I will generalize to answer that the "bang for the buck" factor will go up roughly proportionally with the newness of the coin, with Morgans being an exception since they're so plentiful. You're not going to get a Mint State Barber quarter for that money, but you could get a Morgan like that and you should expect a really_nice Merc, for instance.

The best answer, unfortunately, is that you have to have a collector's level of knowledge about these issues if you're going to maximize your money spent.

This 1910 Barber half

Or maybe this 1882-cc Morgan. It'd make a good avatar. Though I'm having trouble seeing the cc...

What I would do? I would convert it to Canadian dollars (e.g. the $100 for $100 coin) and sell it when the exchange rate gets a lot better (If I were in your situation).

Being a bit more serious: I would stick with wheatchaser140's list. It really depends on what coins you like and are looking for. If you're one of those looking to fill a few holes, you can even buy multiple coins at EF to assemble a set of say, mercury or buffalo coins.
