[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2704388, member: 27832"]Ah, okay. I think maybe you're focusing on LIBERTY and the eagle wings.

On Morgans, though, LIBERTY is a lot more deeply incuse, and it sticks around even on AG coins. This Morgan was VG at best. All the common dates in this condition would be a bit overpriced at $22.

I've had occasional good luck snagging better Barber halves, too, but only as part of larger lots, so it would be a stretch to post them here. :) My most recent was a 1904-S, badly abused, but with XF details -- but it was a bit over the $50 threshold.
