Good lord. Did you buy it from a blind guy or did you buy it in 1914?

I really don't want to over post my coins, but since you asked.
These ended up being about $3 each.

 

IRS auction.

 

I am going to have to check those out? How much would you say that coin is selling for? It looks like one of these that sell for $50-$100.

 

At the min that coin is probably worth $350+. It's downright beautiful!

 

Actually, I am not a grader of Barber Halves, but I will just say it's somewhere around MS63-MS64. It appears to have great luster and very nice eye appeal.
If that's the case, this coin right here would go for $1000-$2000.

If those unfortunate nicks weren't in the focal area on the cheek, the price could double.

What do you think Barber folks (Looking at you Potato), what say you?
