Barber Half Dollar

Barbers in better grades are expensive so I chose this one for a type set. Not for my Dansco but for my Whitman’s type set. It’s a little tougher date with a mintage of 662,000. The date is 1905. The mark on her neck is from a small detached lamination. Also a small one on the reverse above a star.

She was give a good scrubbing on the front end, but she'll work.

 

That little shiny spot under her nose almost stopped me from buying her but since the price was right for the album it was going in I decided to get her.

 

How much was it? Aside from the nose which draws my attention immediately, it doesn't seem too bad.

 

Under $20 and that’s not bad for a Barber of this date and condition.

 

That's great!

 

Barber any coins, dimes, quarters, halves are pricey. Yes it was a great bargain.

 

and a nice lower mintage of 662,727
