Recently purchased a large group of coins. Found this 1915 Barber. Any ideas on grade or value?

According to the USA Coin Book, your coin would grade a G-4, with a value of $126.

agree on the "good" grade, but real world price is around $65

North American Coins and Price Guide (2013) gives a value of $112 (retail) in G-4

I agree with the grading and have sold a few of these in the 50 - 60 ish range. The issue is that if you ask more then that you have to be sure the coin has not been cleaned. The only real way, a buyer is totally satisfied is by having it graded. If it was graded by NGC or PCGS you could get probably double that as long as it came back with a grade and did not show as cleaned.

You have to grade obverse and reverse to come up with a total grade. The coin would grade G4 and it's value is around $70, here's a value guide for the Barber Half Dollars Barber Half Dollar Values US Coin Values | CoinHELP!

The problem with coin values publications is that they try to increase prices over-time because that's what collectors expect to see, but with ebay, small dealerships and small coins shows you can now buy most coins for less than the listed retail. Also you need to look at the source for their values because they're often for coins certified by a top grading service, so their values are no good for raw coins.
