I sell them from time to time. Barbers should NEVER be purchased for their bullion content, but rather for their novelty, to own a piece of history, or if you collect that series and just want to fill holes before upgrading to better conditioned coins (more expensive) than what you'll find in avg circ rolls. I charge a bit more for any Barber roll than I will for even a roll of full wt coins of any series as the rolls I occasionally offer contain as many different dates and mint marks as I can assemble after sifting through thousands of coins. You'd have to buy several hundred dollar face bags (I did) to accumulate that many different dates and mintmarks. My premium is for the time and labor it takes me to date check items to ensure they are a variety, rather than simply one or two of the most common dates.
