<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 1924940, member: 67540&quot;]Something that irks me as a type collector is how expensive a decent condition slabbed Barber half dollar is. Basically anything over VF20-25 is $300+. For that money you can get a nice little piece of 19th century gold! </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just curious for those who have been in the hobby for awhile (I&#039;ve only been collecting seriously for 3 years now) what exactly makes this market tick? I almost never hear about people who put a date set of these things together, and it seems like you&#039;d have to have deep pockets to even attempt it in VF or greater. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean I understand that some are quite scarce, the PCGS survival numbers certainly tell the tale on some but even some of the more common ones are pretty steep in AU.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
