[QUOTE="silver surfer, post: 53631, member: 3235"]I try to get over to my local flea market several times a year where i've been able to find circulated condition Franklins and Walkers for 3-4$ a piece. About three years ago i noticed one vendor had three Barber halves on his table for which he was asking 30$. I offered 20$ and he took it,the dates are 1898,1899 and 1909 all s mint. the 1909s appears to be VF-XF with more than half of liberty readable on the headband. The 05 Redbook lists it at 75$ in VF so ,i was pretty gassed about the deal i'd made. The downside is i've returned to the flea market at least a dozen times since then looking for more bargains, but have come up empty. It remains one of my favorite pieces due largely to the fact that it cost me less than 7$ . I'll post a scan of it,hope it works as this is my first attempt to attach a jpeg.[/QUOTE]
