Hello all! I have here a Barber Half that I picked up at my local thrift. Just wondering what y'all would grade it? Thanks in advance! Cheers!

G6, I don't see any ED, and I feel like the hairlines are circulation hairlines that are being exaggerated from the flash. I think it straight grades.

Can you take a pic with different lighting?

FYI: Your title should read 1912-S.

Scratches are in different directions on both sides . What does this tell me ? Either scrubbed with harsh substance or one heck of a circulation life . ( Not Cleaned At All ).

I'm going on the low end on this one as the word LIBERTY is completely obliterated and give it a G4.
Badly scratched probably due to heavy circulation.

G-6 probably cleaned as there is no dirt in the protected areas.

So just to clarify for me. You don't see any environmental damage or problems with this coin?

I'll bet in hand it doesn't look this bad. Photo lighting makes hairlines jump out of the photo.

Correct, unless you're referring to the physical scratches on the coin.
