    If you had to choose one or the other to collect, which would you choose, would you choose the Bust half or the Barber half?

    I wouldn't collect Barber anything if they were given to me.

    I'm starting to appreciate the Barber series more and more. I have a decent amount from junk silver, but I'd take an honest VF-XF original coin over a blast white (dipped) slider any day. Barber for me!

    I like the way Barbers wear.

    I LOVE the look or circulated Barbers. But comparing them to capped halves is just silly.

    Though I like Barbers , they can't hold a candle to the Bust half , all Barbers look the same but all Bust halves are different ,especially Miss Liberty . Where she starts out kind of portly she evolves to a more petite Miss Liberty in the later years . Here's my Bust half . I mean Barber . lol

    Dang Tapatalk doesn't show polls, but I will vote for Bust because I don't have any and would like to one day.
