thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1309 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 6:01 pm I'm working on filling my Barber half set, and I came across this date that I need to fill. A couple of questions on this particular coin, first, who in their right mind would submit a coin in this condition? Secondly, am I missing something on the asking price of this coin? It had a mintage of over 1 million. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1892-S-Barb...AOSwT6pVx8X~ Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 6:53 pm That is a tough one. I don't mind buying coins like that .. if I can get them very cheap. I would pay no where near $200. I would never have sent it into a TPG like that, I might spend years trying to make it better. But I think the corrosion might be to deep to make it much better.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 9:19 pm PCGS population of 600 in all grades, half F12 and lower, a lot of MS, but not that many in the higher grade circ range. EF is a conditional rarity for this coin, so maybe that justified slabbing. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
