I've bought a lot of silver the past 4-6 weeks. Still absorbing it, but when taking stock of halves last night realized I had acquired by accident a 1913 D Barber half, in decent shape. Still a bit of a lip. Still some reeding on edge. Definitely worn, but it weighs 12.1 grams, so still has 97% of mass. Not sure I can take a reasonable photo of it (I may try later), and I'm headed to gym now anyway, but wondered if others than knew these and/or were interested could check me on this. I briefly skimmed PGCS this afternoon and it appeared to tell me that these are rare in any condition. 2000-ish estimate remaining of all grades? Appears to maybe worth hundreds? I set it aside last night because I thought it would be a cool pocket coin, but now I'm thinking it may be worth a bit of something. Comments?

1913 Philadelphia half (No mint mark) is the scarce one. The 1913-D, unless in higher grades, is one of the common ones.

Ah, yes. Too bad. 4000 estimated vs 2000, and it's not a real clean coin, collector-wise. I don't know squat about coin grading, but from the descriptions below I would put it at F15, no better than VF20, though it doesn't look too bad for its age. From the link, if I'm anywhere close on grade, it might be worth at best 4x-8x spot. For that, I'll just keep it for the coolness...

20-35 VF DETAILS (Very Fine)
Major details of the coin are clear although wear is evident; the high points show moderate wear.

12-15 F DETAILS (Fine)
Moderate wear on many elements with heavy wear on high points. The major design elements remain visible.

8-10 VG DETAILS (Very Good)
Heavy wear flattens design elements, although major features are clearly outlined.
