nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 12:17 pm Longer term forum readers know my collecting passion for honestly circulated coins ... in particular the many year search for circulated classic commemorative. I'm pursuing multiple low-ball sets ... including the Barber half dollar. Therein lies my absolute best ever lowball purchase ... an ebay auction for two Barbers ... 1895 and 1896. I judged both to be FR02 based on the sellers photos - purchased the lot in auction (5 other bidders) for $23.50 including shipping. Received the grades back from the wizards ... 1895 Barber half dollar - PCGS PO01 1896 Barber half dollar - PCGS PO01 Both are now Pop 1/0 lowballs ... from the same ebay lot. Amazing.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 2:33 pm Outstanding. I concur with the previous comment that the differing wear patterns are interesting, especially as the net grade works out the same. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
