<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2schnauzers2luv, post: 1429686, member: 26161&quot;]For the past year or so, I&#039;ve been picking up &quot;full rim&quot; Barber dimes, quarters and halves in Good-4.&nbsp; Usually coin shops just have these sitting around in a small box, loose, collecting dust.&nbsp; I&#039;ve talked to a few dealers and they&#039;ve said that they just don&#039;t have the time to package these and display them in holders to sell, especially with them having such a low grade.&nbsp; Some dealers are waiting for silver to climb again and these dusty boxes of Barbers are going to be sent to the smelter.&nbsp; It&#039;s my understanding that many were sent off when silver broke the $40 barrier months ago.&nbsp; Makes me think FREE MONEY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now I have 26 halves, 32 quarters and 53 dimes in Good-4 full rims and better.&nbsp; I am finding many coins in these &quot;Junk&quot; boxes that grade G4, G6, VG8, VG10 and even a few Fines.&nbsp; With these being purchased at melt or a few cents over, makes me think FREE MONEY.&nbsp; That&#039;s just taking in to consideration melt value.&nbsp; When you discover a 1913-S half in VG and you&#039;re paying between $11 and $12, now you&#039;re talking collector value too.&nbsp; Especially with that particular half being valued in the $21 to $25 dollar range.&nbsp; Not everything bearing the title of junk is necessarily that.&nbsp; There are some great values to be found if you&#039;ll just look.&nbsp; And what&#039;s more fun than the thrill of &quot;The Hunt&quot; in this hobby?</p><p><br /></p><p>I just think IF these low grade Barbers are actually headed to the melting pots eventually, why not pick up a few.&nbsp; The dimes, quarters and halves are in the $2.25, $6.00 and $11.50 ranges respectfully and are very affordable.&nbsp; Pick up a few here, a few there, a few today and a few later.&nbsp; You&#039;ll be surprised at how many Barbers you&#039;ve obtained in a short period of time and it won&#039;t be a big hit on your wallet.&nbsp; Which, in essence, makes me think FREE MONEY!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, as always, you folks can say yea or nea.&nbsp; But this is what I&#039;ve been doing and been having fun while doing it.&nbsp; Just thought I&#039;d share.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
