[QUOTE="petro89, post: 868569, member: 17048"]Hey all... paid a visit to one of my usual local shops today and looked through their Barber halfs.

It has a lot of the surface left, unlike 90% of the others I see, "LIBERTY" is 90% visible (the L doesn't show in the pic cause of the light but it is there), there is even a bit of luster to it (bad lighting on the second pic), and the banner on the back is complete. Redbook and Numismedia say $55 for a F12 and $120ish for a VF20. I think I did pretty well for about $17! What do you think?
