<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 379681, member: 5454&quot;]My new interest is collecting Barber half dollars.&nbsp; I have completed a Walker, Franklin and Kennedy collection.&nbsp; Started duplicate sets of each but found it to be redundant and boring.&nbsp; I like silver half dollars.</p><p>&nbsp; So what&#039;s next?&nbsp; Bust halves are just too expensive. Even though I like them</p><p>I don&#039;t own any.&nbsp; I have one seated half with a hole in it.</p><p>Guess I will embark on a new adventure with Barber half dollars.&nbsp; So far I have 13 of them grading G to G+.&nbsp; Probably have about $135 into the set right now.&nbsp; Picked up some O minted halves today.&nbsp; Got the 1909-O and the 1908-O.</p><p>I will stick to the low grades for now.&nbsp; Trying for intact rims and most of the E Pluribus Unum readable.</p><p>My question is addressed to those of you who collect Barber halves.</p><p>Is this a difficult series?&nbsp; I&#039;d like to hear your experiences.&nbsp; Is it an enjoyable set to put together.&nbsp; I still have not accepted totally how the eye looks so sunken in the low grades.&nbsp; Some have said it is an ugly coin.&nbsp; Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
