Kellyk Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 3:29 pm Thank you for showing these wonderful coins. I have always liked Barbers but after seeing Elbesaar's coins, I have a even greater appreciation. Outstanding coins! Report this Post to the Staff
jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 4:06 pm I don't dislike Barber coins. I just never developed the desire for them that I had for the previous classics. 99% of mine are probably AG-G that I pulled out of circulation in the 50s and 60s and are part of the bullion side of my collection. All this being said - - Elbesaar . . you have a fantastic collection and I thank you for sharing. Please keep the show going. Report this Post to the Staff
Elbesaar Rest in Peace United States 699 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 4:07 pm Thanks - I have always liked the Barber design - its almost French / Roman - many people think the head of Liberty looks like a man - it just shows the stregnth of the country - these coins were work horses in their day and they were well used in circulation almost to the point of no longer being recognizable as a US coin. 1895 Quarters ................

Elbesaar Rest in Peace United States 699 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 4:30 pm 1895 Half Dollars............ I'd like to start off with an image of a coin I do not own - nor, do I remember who owns it - but I have liked this coin [ a proof - NGC PF 65 ] for many years. I keep its image in an old file and every so often, I open up the file and breathe deeply. It can take your breath away if you're not careful !! ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- 1895-P PCGS 50 1895-O PCGS 25 1895-O PCGS 50 1895-S PCGS 45 Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 6:18 pm Elbesaar, Your 1895-O AU-58 Dime passed through Heritage Auctions in August 2011, Lot #3623, as did mine in June of 2004, Lot #8073 I did not buy mine from Heritage. Did you? My reason for asking is that I would want to include your example in an upcoming article for the BCCS Journal. In short, it has to due with a certain wear pattern on the reverse that is ignored in every coin grading guide. I will seek out examples from other members who have contributed to this topic. To appear in our Journal, permission is needed from the owner of the pictures. Thanking you in advance. Previously posted in this topic: ... I will eventually post a follow-up to my article re: 1895-O Dime. I had to vindicate myself for buying it. Not one but two dealers said that it may have been cleaned. When I discovered the reason for their "confusion" I wrote another article in the BCCS Journal which, in effect, said: "TRUST YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT!" My experience led me to the conclusion that there exists a certain wear pattern on the reverse of the dime which can be mistaken for cleaning. I just need to gather up some visuals to present my case. Pretty sure that I am correct, though. The original article: The following article was first published in The Journal of the Barber Coin Collectors' Society Volume 23 Number 1 2012 Matthew Edited by matthewvincent 12/04/2012 6:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Elbesaar Rest in Peace United States 699 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 10:04 pm Matthew, Of course you may use my images of my old 1895-O for your upcoming article for the BCCS. I originally purchased this coin through an auction from Superior Coins a number of years ago and I consigned this coin to the afore mentioned Heritage auction. After all, the collection was called "ELBESAAR". I own the images posted here, and you may use any that you feel necessary as long as I am given credit as a post script. I enjoyed reading your article on your 1895-O. And look forward to your next article as well. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
