Most Barber Halves that have been in circulation will fall somewhere in the G - VG grade. For grading assistance you can query Google (www.google.com) on the internet for "grading coins" and choose a website. Whichever site you choose, make sure they use the grading standards as outlined by the A.N.A. (American Numismatic Association). Marc
