Because of the condition, most of the barbers are worth melt.

thanks for the reply sagittarius98!!i doubt there are any that are good, but im really a newbie when it comes to coins and just wanted to make sure i wasnt putting something good into the melting pot whether it be 5 years from now or 40. i was just happy to get it for under silver melt price :D

im not planning on selling at least for 30-40 years. im 24 now and hopefully i can accumulate much more over my lifespan

The 1907 (top left corner) might be worth a few dollars over melt.

Where I live, the 64D, WL and Barber's all have a small premium over spot despite condition. Small meaning .50-1.00 / coin depending on wear.
I search for and sell mine to my coin dealer, then use the extra cash to buy AU or XF.

nice! thanks a lot Freedom. im looking up G4 right now and see that it means good in coin grading. i am going to separate these from the rest so i dont mistake them for bullion in the future. i may even see if i can find someone willing to trade bullion for them.
