Rims are pretty beat up and dinged but the rest of the coin is pretty decent.

Curious... was it in a CWR, a $500 box, bag? Just interested... I'm looking for a Barber and one o' those (someday... probably in a Galaxy far far away I'll find one)... then I'll have found one of all the silvers out there in circ.

Doesnt brinks deliver direct to you? Out of curiosity, how many $ in halves do you search each week? If you dont mind my asking.

Yeah, is it possible to get direct delivery to a neutral location, like a rented space where a truck delivery wouldn't look out of place? There would be a large minimum purchase and probably a decent-sized premium....

I don't get deliveries directly and I can't share all my secrets.
