How'd I do for $21.39?  Think she'll pull an AG3 or is Fair 2 the limit? Very, very well circulated 1896-S Barber half dollar, but this is a slightly less common date/MM. Not going to win any pretty coin contests. Looks cleaned at some point.

I would have only paid $15 for it, and likely not so because Barbers aren't as attractive as lowballs since they are quite common. Interesting how the top half of the "Y" in LIBERTY is still visible in this low grade, but thanks to the reverse legend completely obliterated, this looks to be a FR-2.

I'm in the same FR-02 grade as everyone else, but I don't see any indications of cleaning or dipping.

FR-2. Looks like this date gets pretty pricey in better grades. What is the market for AG-G examples, are they fairly common in lower grades? I have one in AG-03.
