Very very little Barber coinage in Rome... Over 4.4 million minted this year, but how many have be brutally scratched? A shame because I kind of like the wear on the reverse.   |

even though they may be difficult to find there this one is over the line and would not even receive a grade due to the extensive damage. the coins value is the silver content. I do agree the reverse is a nice circulated example.

@pan, by now I'm well aware of that. I hope you would have more faith in me &  I paid below melt; much like the collection I posted last week. I'm comfortable paying a few euro for a barber coin to add to my meager tube of barber and SLQs. |

VG details, scratched. Ouch.
Errers and Varietys.

I'm totally with you in your endeavor and the challenges you face |

@pan, I appreciate that. I don't know if I'm asking anything really. I just kind of like sharing the experience of what's found in Rome with people that are significantly (significantly!) more interested than my wife.
I've enjoyed the hunt for american coins a lot in Rome. It gives me something to do and I've learned a lot about American coins; found some better stuff and plan to repatriate a lot of it this summer like I did last summer. It's just an angle of the hobby I suppose.

Also, I can relate to you comment regarding your wife |

@pan, you've never offended me. I think once I did not understand something you said, but you clarified and I took no offense. You've been wonderfully helpful and I appreciate your responses to my posts.
