<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1520788, member: 37356"]I wouldn't rack my brain over this since guides are just that, only a guide and the prices are not set in stone. Pick what you like but I would pick the 1903-O since that mint is no longer. What really drives value is how much someone wants something. I can tell you though I do not buy Barbers on Ebay, I only buy them at B&M shops or I would buy them at a show. People tend to overbid on these on Ebay I believe. I paid $5 for the coin in my avatar. I did just check the Redbook on these coins. The 1897 is worth $3.25 and the 1903-O is worth $4.50. Don't ask me why Numismedia is saying the value is that high. I would go with the 1903-O though so at least you are close to Redbook price. I use coinstudy.com when I bid because those prices tend to be low and I always downgrade coins with some issues. For instance, I have a cleaned VF-25 seated quarter that I bid $23 for, the Redbook G price. A lot of older coins have been cleaned at one time but people still want them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
