"Barber Coins" ...Say What??
AuctionZip Mobile
Pretty barebones description, but the last item mentioned is is Barber Coins. Never heard of 'em, but I also wasn't looking (and never a collector of) for coins
. I was trolling for shaving stuff in local listings, and looked at this one in case they had "Also selling a few antiques/consignment items, etc." tacked onto the bottom of the listing. No dice this time, but had an interesting discussion piece that caught my eye.
Anyone here have some knowledge/stories on these?Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.

Barber coins were U.S. currency from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. They were designed by Charles E. Barber whose initial B was located at the base of the neck on Liberty.
