Did I get a good deal? Barber and Walker

Just bought these on ebay. Came out to $12 after shipping which I figure isn't too bad since it's $10 in silver. Novice collector and first ebay purchase, let me know how I did, grade, value.

You did well, for the price...however you should maybe consider waiting a little longer and maybe buying one nicer walking, or barber like you could get a nice BU Walker for around $40.00...think about it, but good buy

 

I didn't really care about the walker since I have found 1 roll searching already and hope to find many more but I really wanted a barber since I don't expect I'll be finding one any time soon.

 

HAha where did u find a whole roll of walkers?

 

He meant he found 1 in a roll I believe :smile

But I think you did well in terms of melt value, plus the barber's always fun to have in any collection

 

I wish I had found a roll of them. I found 1 qty while searching rolls

 

OHH AHAHAHHAHAHAH, Well I hope you do find a whole roll of them some day ahhaahah

 

$12 for both is a good deal. Some dealers at the ANA were asking $10 to $12 for common Barber halves with full rims...

 

Yeah, I don't know what's up with the price of barber halves (and quarters for that matter). On most of the ebay wannabe sites that have auctions with no bidders, you can't touch a barber half for under $7.

Of course, I believe this to be part of a much bigger conspiracy....

BTW, 1917-S is a good date for a Walker. But it does seem to be a slickie - still good price overall.

 

Any grades for the Barber?

 

I see the WL as AG.
I believe the Barber will go VG.

Of course if the Barber turns out to be cleaned then it drops back to bullion value.
I still think you did well.
