<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Log Potato, post: 1258396, member: 26787&quot;]A very good question and one any Barber collector will ask pursuing any barber series (10c, 25c, and 50c).&nbsp; Prices do seem to be all over the map.&nbsp; I have found after looking at many coins on the internet and at coin shows is dealers have a tendency to over grade their Barbers.&nbsp; There is also the factor, that better date original coins usually bring a premium over guide, sometimes even multiples of any guide.&nbsp; Some dealers are in the know and will price their Barber material accordingly to knowledge of the Barber market.&nbsp; Some dealers simply over grade their coins and think they have a killer coin and will have an astronmical price to accompany that.&nbsp; Then you will find dealers that may have nice original Barber coins and have them priced at greysheet just to move them.&nbsp; The expert knows when to spot each scenario and when to pull the trigger.&nbsp; I am far from mastering it, but it&#039;s all part of the numismatic education.&nbsp; One thing I do know since I have been exclusively searching halves in the past two months is original Barber halves with nice eye appeal in F-AU will stomp any price guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
