Just out of curiosity, are you aware of any reference in any numismatic book to a "Barber Dollar"? Barber got his name associated with dimes,...
It's ours (America's) so send it back to me. I'll take good care of it.
That was my exact idea also - the date is very likely done by an American because of the format. A pocket piece of some kind. Poke around in...
I think the famuly knew what they had, but the choice was a LOSE-LOSE proposition. Send them to the govt - if they are real, they would be...
Well, I'd stay away from Barber Silver Dollars, especially since they don't exist. Aside from that, your question concerns me a bit, since...
