1912 Barber Half - Condition?

[pointdlr]

All,
I have been selling a bunch of silver coins I inherited on ebay. This one is in much better condition than the others. I am looking for advice on
1)how to grade it?
2) does it look like there are any problems?
3) is it a good date?
4) how much is it worth?
5) how should I go about selling it?
Thanks in advance,
Jon Dickinson.

It's better than F12 and here a Barber Coinage picture grading guide to help you http://coinauctionshelp.com/how_to_grade_barber_head_coins.html

Possibly cleaned , id agree if it fetches $25 youve done well , on the other hand theres no telling with ebay , could go orbital money.

The coin will fetch around $50-$100. It might have a slight cleaning, but it retains enough luster, toning and details to push it at least to the VF30 value. I have a lot of experience selling coins at ebay, and I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but I just have a keen sense for coin values. I was raised in coin shops, and my dad and grandpa are long time coin dealers.

Heres one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/1912-Barber-Qua...mQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item45f1e16c26

Its better condition but might give you a ballpark idea.

Not a bad guess , that auction ended at $37 and its a far nicer coin , $25 seems about right
