I have chance to buy some US coins from my coin dealer. But I'm not experinced in US coin series, only in some world coins. He offers me: Mercury dimes (grades G - VG) - $3 each Barber dimes (grades G - VG) - $9 each Barber half dollars (grades G - VG) - $9 each I usually don't buy low grade coins, but something in my head say me, it could be good buy. I would like to know which years are good to buy in G - VG. Thanks!
Looking at the list, I'd be inclined to think that the only think worth purchasing would be the Barber Halves.
OK and where can I find a price for each date of this series? I want to check a key dates (in this grades). It's hard to find price on the net without RedBook. Is it possible to send me a scan of this pages? I bought this two (left $3, right $9). It was the highest grade what coin dealer had (maybe XF and VF). But I found on the net it's quite common. I hope I did a good buy and not overpayed.
If you want to see what they are selling for, just check completed eBay auctions. Common mercs in these grades usually go for $3 or less. I do not follow Barber coinage, but Barber halves at $9 each seems like a good deal to me. TC
