1st off I'm extremely happy with both coins but will start with the 1887... nowhere near as "harshly cleaned" as the sellers pics made it appear. it lacks the hairline rubbings you would normaly expect, this coin just looks like it spent a lil to long in someones pocket. The best pics I can get just don't show it well (too much reflection going on) in hand looking through a 10x loop this coin would easily pass as AU58.. As for the barber... still trying to find the "almost" part... slightly weak strike but no rub on any highpoints.. you tell me Again sorry about the pics in in "macro" mode this phone does not do coins well
