I like the historical significance of the 1933-s. Seems like a nice date to me. I got it for $15 flat, and it's a solid VF.
Nice Finds!! I believe you've located some nice "treasures" in your Walking Liberty and VG Barber. Yes, a good buy for a WL, of which in posted condition, I can provide EF "comps" by top tier TPG. Keep Searching!! Rich :thumb:
I slightly overpaid for the Barber. I wasn't worried about overpaying at that point since it was such a nice piece in comparison with others from the lot. Full rims, nice details in the eye, along with 3/4 of "LIBERTY" being readable. Compliments my collection quite well.
Dang, I need to build that sort of repertoire with a local shop. Now if only I could find a decent one *le sigh*.
I probably would have overpaid too. Barbers in that kind of condition are not easily had in my neck of the woods. And though I did just buy something one Ebay, I do feel just a bit paranoid making a deal over the internet; especially with things in what is supposed to be such good condition.
You're analysis is correct. I actually hate the look of cleaned barbers. Makes me sick. I see so many crappy ones that I'm willing to pay more just to have a nice one.
