<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3055947, member: 27832"]I bought an 1897-P Barber quarter much like yours, but even more harshly polished, for about 5 bucks on eBay last year (BIN). I photographed it carefully, described it honestly, and put it up at a BIN of $89.99. No interest, relisted it at $59.99. Got offers ranging from $15 to $42. Dropped the price to $49.99, and someone bought it. They were pleased with their purchase. I was pleased with my sale. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I'll go out on a limb above the "just avoid problem coins" crowds here -- I'd say that coin would be easy to sell at $20, to someone who wants to see all the details of the Barber design and isn't a stickler for original surfaces. With plenty of patience, you could probably get $40-50. Just please, for the sake of the hobby and your own conscience, make it clear to anyone looking that it's a details coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
