I am pretty confident Doug would say: buy the coin, not the slab.
Thanks Frank Going through the barber dimes this morning. Would love to have you sitting here with me giving me your perspective on these coins!
I get it Doug. So based on this round about discussion I will answer my own question. For me if I was buying as a dealer I should probably buy...

Not a Barber Half collector, what are your thoughts on this coin? I understand it would be a details grade at a TPG but how should a perspective...

I would say a reasonable premium for a circulated note such as this is 3 to 5 but you may find a number of interested bidders that would bring it...
