<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1360859, member: 25357&quot;]I think Barber coinage as a whole is an under-appreciated series that could be defined as a sleeper.&nbsp; Especially the half dollars.&nbsp; The mintages are so low, the whole run was only 23 years or so.&nbsp; Many circulated so long that there are lots of examples in AG-G, yet there are relatively few in the mid to higher grades.</p><p>The other thing that makes me think that the series, and in particular key dates are sleepers is that I have a hard time finding many of them in any grade/condition, and when I do, the price is almost always <i><b>over</b></i> retail/Redbook.&nbsp; Try to haggle with a dealer on these coins, and they&#039;ll say; &quot;If you don&#039;t buy it at this price, someone else will.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the fact that you&#039;re paying over retail means they&#039;re not really sleepers, but they could still pay off in the long run as supply is quite limited and demand seems to be out-pacing supply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
