nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/03/2010 12:11 pm I am wondering what a fair price on common date Barber halves and quarters in G-4-6 condition would be. Report this Post to the Staff

Napoleon31ft Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 08/03/2010 12:17 pm We sell common worn halves for $9 a piece at the store and I would say $4 seems fair for a quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 08/03/2010 2:22 pm At a coin shop in Shorewood WI they have a small box full of common date Barber coinage that they sell for 15x face. Just a little over melt if you're looking for low-grade type coins. I picked up a 1908 D quarter and 1910 dime both in VG-10 or so for 15x face. I was happy. Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 5:13 pm How about very low grade Seated coins? Visible dates, but FR-02, AG3 kind of grades? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 5:53 pm There is a flea market by me where a guy usually has Liberty Head Dimes, Quarters and Halves. Usually about $2 for the Dimes, $3 or $4 for the Quarters and about $6 or $7 for the Halves. All are worn substancially to about a good G-4 status. One nice thing about flea market people is this guy, for example, knows little about coins. Even if the coin is VG-8 or even F-12, he sells for the same prices. Report this Post to the Staff
razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 7:17 pm I've always wondered if the silver coinage had been clad what would the prices be today. 98% of the silver coins are worth just barely over melt. If there were a 1910 clad half dollar would it be worth 8 bucks today? Report this Post to the Staff

The downfall of most collectibles is that there is no intrinsic value in the item. You have a cardboard square (trading cards) or a small square of paper (stamps) or some cloth stuffed with stuffing (beanie babies, etc.). However, if you can fill most of a coin book with 90% silver coins at slightly above the spot price of silver, you know that they will always be worth SOMETHING (the price of silver). If there were no silver in the roosies, that complete 1948-1964 collection in G4 condition would be worth about face value. Report this Post to the Staff

Unless copper skyrockets in value (which it very well might given the appetite of the Chinese and Indian rate of industrial growth), clad coinage won't be getting melted anytime soon, keeping the supply high while demand remains constant.
