[Ennismill]

Came across 40 barber half dollars at a local auction. Most showing wear but still in pretty decent shape.

Fair enough!

With coin values and silver going up good investment but you also will have some value for the coin date itself could be some key dates. I like it

A fine group of Barber Half dollars!

Nice! That coin (along with the barber quarter) was the "workhorse" of our coinage system at that time. Always nice to see circulated examples. Great find and hope you got some good dates!

Nice instant collection.

Barbers have always been a favorite of mine. It's hard for me to pass them up. Was surprised to see them come up for sale

Check eBay. Plenty to be had at spot.

20 lot coins are common. These are $130 for 20. There are 6 lots for you to purchase. Good luck.

Sorry, I think that $350 for 40 is a bit steep.

Congrats on the halves

Even though most coin values today are trending down (according to dealers), gotta love those Barber halves.

I agree Tommy. Silver bullion coins are always an excellent investment, with the potential for a key date to be found. Everyone has their own cutoff price when it comes to how much you are willing to pay for them. Sometimes its about the fun of looking also. I remember buying a box lot of Wheat pennies at an auction about 10 years ago. In that box was a 1922 no D Wheat, and a 1914 D Wheat. Those 2 coins more than paid for that box !! Total cost to me was $8.00. Enjoy your search Ennismill ! Even if there are no key dates, Barber Halves are a great looking coin.
