MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 08:32 am What is a fair price for circulated Barber half dollars? I purchased 5 low-grade circulated examples for $7 a piece at the local coin show. Is this the rate to be expected from a high-volume coin/jewelry store?

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 10:19 am Melt value is $6.64 each. You paid $2.70 over melt for 5 coins. The seller most likely picked them up for $6 each and made a profit of $5. Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 4:24 pm Watch out, Mike. T-Bob is about to T-Bop you.. Junk silver at my store was something around 15x face, so it would have been $7.50 there, and he only had a few walkers and a 1963 Franklin in there. I would have bought those Barbers at your price.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 11:06 pm AG/G common date Barber halves without major defects will sell for $7 to $9 all day long; coins with full rims on both sides, a bit more.
