<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 259451, member: 9167&quot;]Like I tell everyone questioning a grade, ignore it and make your own call on it. Personally, I think the Barber design was one of, if not the worst US coin design in history. Not just because it&#039;s horribly plain, but because the details ware so uneven and so unpredictable. I always assume with most other design, if there are at least three letters left in LIBERTY, it&#039;s a Fine. With Barber coins, all the letters may be there, as is often the case, while the rest of the coin&#039;s details are shoddy at best. Don&#039;t go by the letters on Barbers. I go by three things:1) Are all the outlines on the head wreath visable and not worn smooth. 2) How much eye detail remains. 3)Are the kernels of corn on the reverse wreath visable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If all these are good, you have at least a VF Barber.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
