Collectible Barber coins

All Barber Coinage saw very heavy and long term use in daily commerce and, consequentially, most surviving examples are heavily worn, this is especially true of the Quarters and Half Dollars. It is frequently said by collectors and dealers that Barber Coinage is full of condition rarities, that is, coins which are very scarce in higher grades. A good example of this is the 1901-S Quarter, which is the most valuable regular issue Barber coin. As such even extremely worn specimens are worth thousands of dollars and are frequently submitted for third party grading. Of the 566 1901-S Quarters graded by PCGS 488, or 86% of them grade below fine, and 224 or 40% of those examples graded were below Good. Barber Coinage in the so-called "Mid Grades" of Fine through Extremely Fine can be very challenging to locate indeed, with some otherwise common coins such as the 1892 Philadelphia Half Dollar having populations in VF of less than 10 coins at PCGS. [2]

Dimes:

The Barber Dime series includes the mammoth rarity, the 1894-S is one of the most valuable coins ever produced by the United States. Only 24 were produced. Of those, only nine remain, one of which sold for $1.9 million in 2007.[3] However the 1894-S Dime is considered to be a Proof strike, as such the most valuable business strike Dime is the 1895-O

Quarters:

In addition to the general scarcity of most any Barber design in grades above Very Good, there are three "Stoppers" or coins which are extremely rare and valuable in the Barber Quarter series. The "3 Keys" to the series are the 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S. The 1901-S is by far the most valuable having a value of $5,500 in Good-4, quickly rising to $17,500 in Fine-12 as of 12/13/09 in Fine-12 [4]

Half Dollars:

The Barber Half dollars are, like all coins in the series, challenging to find in higher grades. There is no immensely expensive key date in the series, the most valuable date being the 1904-S. However a very small number of 1892 Halves minted in New Orleans were made from dies which used a Mint Mark punch originally intended for Quarter Dollar dies, these are known as the 1892-O "Micro O" and are extremely valuable with less than 60 known to exist.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Coin Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Numismatic Specialist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
