<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petro89, post: 1594406, member: 17048&quot;]I have been a huge Barber half nut for years, and I have seen that same feature on many many coins...all over the date and mintmark spectrum.&nbsp; I think these crummy pics accentuate it and make it worse than it is.&nbsp; The Barber half was the workhorse coin of the time period and thats why its so difficult to find nice mid-grade examples.&nbsp; These coins were beat to ****.&nbsp; 95+% of what you find out there are flat and polished and damaged.&nbsp; I could be wrong about this particular coin - I don&#039;t have it to test it, but the rim hits on slick (worn)&nbsp; Barbers often produce this result.&nbsp; Maybe it is because they are so thin (comapred to a circulated silver Kennedy for example).&nbsp; But I have seen and own many that have a very similar rim hit, and they are legit.&nbsp; I think the pics are just really bad, and I agree the coins are probably polished.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t pay more than&nbsp; silver value for any of them the way they look.&nbsp; I would be willing to bet the sesqui, the pilgrim and the barber are probably real, they are just really bad pics of cleaned/damaged coins.&nbsp; The pan-pac is probably a fake.&nbsp; None of them look right to me, especially that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
