<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 261881, member: 5036&quot;]As many of you undoubtedly know for the last few months I have been collecting barber dime and quarter semi-key coins.&nbsp; I have been to a local show with about 15-20 dealers and a few shops around where I live.&nbsp; I am surprised at the lack of availability on these dates.&nbsp; In talking with the dealers I know that anything that is in VG or better condition gets snapped up fairly quickly but they have also said they are having a hard time finding them.&nbsp; Outside of ebay, which I am extremely wary about buying ungraded key and semi key dates I have been nearly unable to find semi key dates (especially S and O mints) in better than AG/G.&nbsp; The ones few VG/F specimens I have come across are so outrageously overpriced (50%+ over current retail) that I have been loathe to purchase them.&nbsp; Now I know that due to the design barbers did not wear well so more than 80% of all available barbers are AG/G, but has anyone else had similar experiences or problems finding nice specimens in VG/F?&nbsp; I am really starting to get frustrated with the whole thing, and may have to start ranging further out to find better dates, but I don&#039;t want to have to drive all day to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
