Hello,

Just got this from an auction. Pics are harsh. Overall looks better in hand. How would you grade it? And, would you keep it for $59

Thanks,

1915-Barber-Half

I can't help you with pricing but as for the grade, I'd say G-06.

Full rim both sides. Some leaves still show detail. Almost full motto. G6

It's a solid G6 with no major issues. I don't see anything that would cause me to not buy it. Retail for a 15 Philly Barber half in G4 is around 80 and goes up to 110-120 in VG, not too bad of a deal for 59 bucks ;)

Almost VG clean overall wouldn't be surprised if it squeezed out vg8. Nice score for 59 bucks

I think it makes VG-08, just barely.

Hey! No need to be racist! We are all friends here!


Alright no, that wasn't funny. Anyways, a nice sold G-06. I love the 1915 P halves. My father's best friend has/had one in his small personal collection, and when I was younger I got to hold it and take a good look at it. Never forgot about it since. It was probably a nice VG-8 or VG-10 piece. The lowest minted coin I'd have ever held, back when.

Great rims for a g6 to vg8 coin. Eye appeal defiantly makes it worth $59.00 you did well

I think this is one of those that's just a tad better than a G06 but maybe a hair short of a VG8!!
Overall nice coin for a good price !!
