Beautiful half dollars! Using the knife as a pointing device was raising my blood pressure a little.

One coin away from complete set of Barber half dollar proofs! I’ve always liked the design. Have some proof 67s that are just stunners.

Hey, IrishAJW--I just started collecting a lower grade (PR60/61/62) set. The proofs are just outstanding! Congratulations on almost completing your set, and good luck! Cheers!

As a former dealer,I had a hard time,stocking the 96o,96s,97o,97s. When I was offered them they were often in AG. The others were much easier,except in,XF or better. I did find a 1906o in good in a roll back around 1960. Back then dealers were paying just a tiny bit over face for rolls of average circulated Barber's. The 50c were always more scarce than either the 10c or 25c.

Hi Ben. Neat set. I wish I could afford a high-grade DCAM for my type set. I grew up thinking the Liberty on the Barber coins was a male. She sure is ugly. *>>>---------------------->* 🦉 🔔

I've found the barber halves easier to collect than the barber quarters and dimes.

You got that right. I have been working on a set of Barber Quarters VF-30 or better for years. It's a lifetime pursuit. All the more sweeter when you find the right coin to go into the album.

I collect Barbers in VG or so (a bit higher for dimes) with original gray surfaces and ideally, a "cameo" appearance with the devices being light. Hard to find but not costing more, a fun challenge.

Barber halves are the only Barber series that can be completed on a relatively low budget. The quarters obviously have monster stoppers in the 1896-S, the 1901-S, and the 1913-S, all of which are high 3 figures ('96-S) to mid 4 figures ('01-S) for low grade examples. And, of course, the dimes are uncompleteable by anyone who doesn't have a couple million to blow on one of the 9 known '94-S. Oh, sure, everyone will say "it's complete..." but that's always followed by "...well, except the '94-S, of course." And it eats at all Barber collectors, even if just a little bit. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying, either to themselves, you, or both. But Barbers...? Barbers you can do, because even the spendy ones aren't more and $100-$200 in low grade. And the '92 micro "o" is just a variety, and not necessary for a full set.

I wouldn’t consider an 1894-S dime to be part of the set. With a mintage of 24, they clearly weren’t intended for circulation. It’s an impressive coin to own for sure, but not needed to have a “complete” set.

Back when I started (60’s) I went with the Red Book definition of fine. However, I notice that with Barber halves, the TPG VG-10’s often half full (but weak) LIBERTY s I find that really odd, but then again, VG-10 is awsome As is F-15 Thanks!

I think it would be easier for a major leaguer to hit .400 than for a collector to get a full set of Barber Halves in Extremely Fine. They are very hard to find.

A raw set of Barber halves in Extremely Fine-40/45 is achievable over several years time if you have the patience and budget. However I don’t think a MLB player will ever have a batting average of .400 or higher again. 🤔 ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER

For VG coins if there's a break close to where the "L" would be in Liberty area - they count it: LTY is very common in what you have in front of you
