[QUOTE="larssten, post: 7877874, member: 78319"]Hi, I have this 1909-O Barber Half in the raw. I think Barber coinage is a bit difficult to evaluate and seeking some advice. Could it get a lower MS-grade…or does it seemed to be cleaned at some point? Looking at it carefully I am kind of missing the frosty surface patina I usually see on say Morgan Dollars that have not been tampered with. At the same time, I can’t see any polish marks. Around its edges closest to the rim, the surface is kind of “prickly” which could be flow-lines from its strike (?) and I can see the same on PCGS Photograde MS62 for this type. So guess that’s normal. Anyway, here’s a few photos and would love your second opinion on it. I can also submit more/better photos than these quick cell phone pics if necessary. Thanks!
