Very nice - congrats my friend.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

+1 that!

I'm STILL looking for my 1st Barber in the wild. I've found 1x walker, a frankie, and a good amount of Ken's... but no Barbers or earlier. I can't imagine finding an entire load o' Barbs in a box! I'm convinced that I WON'T stop until I find AT LEAST ONE BARBER (and when I do... I still won't stop)! 8-)

So what was the total count?

So what was the total count?

There were the 2 Barbers, 6 Walkers, 4 Franklins, 4 '64 Kens and 1 40% Ken.

The best part is that the '14 Barber is apparently a Key date that can fetch $100+

Since I'm more of a silver collector than coin collector, I'll probably take it into a few coin shops and see what I can get for it and turn that into some .999

THAT's EXACTLY what I would do! I do PLENTY O" Homework 1st though. I'd consider having that thing graded. I'm not a coin collector either... but for a key date... that thing is in pretty nice shape!
Seriously though... what did you find 2 months ago? :shock:

Bully!

That 1914 looks to be in better than good condition.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

did the damaged barber pass the ring test? I found one in similar condition that I could bend and didn't pass the ring test. Just curious.
