<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1315022, member: 25357&quot;]To both ElbeSaar and Log.&nbsp; I need to finish this set first! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Although I&#039;ve got to admit, of all the series I&#039;ve collected this has been one of my favorites.&nbsp; These last 10 coins are mostly in the 1890&#039;s so they&#039;re a real challenge to find in fine, as you can see, I&#039;m having to dip down into VG for some coins,&nbsp; which I don&#039;t mind if the coin has the right look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly enough, the coin dealer I bought that 1893 S from told me he believes Barbers in VF-XF are probably the most undervalued coins in US numismatics.&nbsp; There were just so few minted(particularly in the case of the half dollar), and so many of them circulated for so long that although you can easily find them in AG-G, they are really hard to find in those higher circulated grades.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve found that to be the case.&nbsp; I think it could take me years if&nbsp; I was dead set on all of them being in Fine.&nbsp; If I can even find the coin in that grade, most dealers have them priced at a premium(some times significantly above even <i>Red Book</i>) and really won&#039;t budge off their asking price.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So it may take a while to chase down those last few in the grade/look that I like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
