Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 04:27 am Hi, this coin has some odd ghost like lettering on the obverse. Any opinions are appreciated, thank you. Also, I did the best I could with the pictures on my phone. Report this Post to the Staff

Coconutjoe Pillar of the Community United States 1475 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 05:41 am I don't see ghost letters. It looks like an authentic, worn Barber half. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 12:01 pm Probably OK, but agree that R in Dollar does look strange. Probably just a hit. Report this Post to the Staff
Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 12:14 pm Nice. If you look at her mouth, it looks like OO or OC or maybe even CO, and then it looks like two more letters to the right of her mouth in the field. Also, I just saw one of these coins on the top of the screen selling for $15, then I clicked on it and saw a bunch more for about $10. I thought they were worth more than that? As always, thank you!

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 12:51 pm You looked at the "listed values" somewhere didn't ya? Real world is always a whole lot different! Unless you get idgit relatives like mine who would use it to buy a soda at 7-11! Report this Post to the Staff
Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 12:57 pm Nice. So if I'm considering buying a large coin collection, where should I look for price estimates? Edited by Joecontois 05/30/2018 12:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 7:41 pm I see the OO by her mouth now. It looks like pin scratch graffiti. Still might be worth $25-$50.

two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 9:32 pm Looks authentic to me as well. What first caught my eye was the L and ?I in Liberty look tooled to be more pronounced than the rest of the wear of the coin. The R in Dollar does indeed look funky. Most likely PMD.

Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 2:12 pm I was concerned when I saw those letters because it looked like maybe it was a Copy coin. Report this Post to the Staff
