[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1925042, member: 22331"]Although I collected the Barber coin sets over many patient years, when I started collecting Morgan Dollars, I realized the insanity of coin collectors when trying to acquire a mint state 1889cc. I eventually decided that collecting $20 Gold Double Eagles made more sense, when I could acquire a $20 Gold coin of the same date/condition, having a relatively insignificant mintage, for less funds. I'm sorry, but this "Junk Silver" attitude has me occasionally virtually "rolling in the aisles" when I read the pricing complaints about coins as the Century old "Barber" design not being inexpensively available in better grades. It should be interesting when participants start collecting the Barber quarters in the same conditions desired. I came to appreciate the design in an average of Fine condition/grade. LOL JMHO[/QUOTE]
