The 25 Days Of Barber Coins!!

I had no idea this tread was still active ... with members contributing whatever new coins they wished to share.

Pleased indeed to see them.

Since this thread appears to be an open house at this point ... I ask ....

Curious if anyone wishes to view photographs of my certified PCGS PO01 Barber halves ... I have 20 of the 73 coins certified in that honest circulated state.

As a dedicated lowball collector I have shared a lot of information at the CCF on the challenges of lowball collecting ...

Just for fun ... and then I'm moving on ... two photographs ... the current earliest dated and current latest dated PCGS PO01 Barber Half:

1892 Barber Half - PCGS PO01



Forward the clock 15 years ... and here is the latest dated PCGS PO01 Barber Half currently certified by PCGS:

1907 Barber Half - PCGS PO01



Apologize as needed if I missed the fact that this thread has become a free for all ... but I do enjoy sharing a few of my treasured lowballs.

I love any Barber - so - please post away - PO-1 and Up !!

I just posted on a BST here - my link to PCGS BST.
Check it out when you have a moment. All being sold
at Heritage - ANA Anaheim Sale.


Just a sample of what's hitting the Block:

Been on a hunt to fill in more Dansco holes lately. On a hunch, bought a lot of 1908 Barber dimes (all 4 mints) from a seller. The holders they were in are quite unusual & I don't recall seeing them before, but almost every coin ended up having a nice golden tone and a little lighter area where the "holding strip" passed over the top of the coin. It actually had 4 more dimes, I removed them for Dansco filling; I was going to resell the extras but decided to keep them in the neat little holders. Some of the coins in the lot were actually pretty decent.

I think the holders have to be somewhat older (someone wrote in pencil near what was the 1908-d "row" a price or value of $0.65...) The pictures here are minus the four that I took out for the album.

Also picked up three quarters (1893-O, 1902-O, 1909-O), and more dimes (1892-O, 1897-S, 1901-O) -- photos here.

I picked up this nice Choice AU 1912 Barber dime recently.

Tried posting earlier this afternoon... spent a good half hour posting - doing write ups, etc.

Only to learn this system was too busy - so - my post was
thrown away - and my time as well.

I don't have the time now to delve into my lost post,
but if it happens again, I won't waste my or anyone else's time.




FTSOD.... newps:

From Heritage, this evening:

Thanks for the advice, JBuck.

I picked up a few more additions to the collection.
I have already posted the 1895 & 1914-S Quarters.

Here are larger images for these two coins:

The Dimes have been my primary focus for the last 22 years.
I have put together a few sets - sold the first two - and
I am now working on three sets: AU 58 / MS / & PR

Here's my newest ...

I would LOVE to see them!!


Pretty Dogs too! (And coins too, of course!!)
