1949-S Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 2:57 pm I occasionally see the term "elf" describing a Barber coin on ebay. What does "elf" mean? I can't seem to find any answer on Google. Report this Post to the Staff

AES Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 3:39 pm You're probably seeing ebay listings by E and L Freeman. They prefix the ebay listing with "elf" for searches I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 3:54 pm I have seen that before. Likely a search term for the seller, nothing to do with the coin. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 9:27 pm I agree with AES, its just E and L Freeman (elfreeman) listings you are seeing which all have elf in the title regardless of the coin type (not just barber) and has nothing to do with the actual coins. https://www.ebay.com/str/eandlfreeman Report this Post to the Staff
1949-S Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 12:11 am E and L Freeman looks to be the correct answer. I put "elf" into the ebay search under Coins and Paper Money category and the vast majority of results were E and L Freeman listings. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
