[QUOTE="900fine, post: 891838, member: 6036"]I suppose half dollars, not silver dollars, were real workhorses of commerce at the time of the Barbers. The vast majority of survivors are well worn, and even proofs are often ugly coins. Contrast that with Morgan dollars of the same time period, which sat around in bank vaults. There are millions of bright and beautiful Morgans. Not so with Barber halves. Go to any coin show bourse; you'll see.[/QUOTE]
