A good friend has been sending me all sorts of great coins to cross at PCGS. He knows how partial I am to Barbers - however most of his coins are Headlights - blinding white.

One coin that did cross yesterday - MS 65 - is now back with me and next week - its off to CAC:

Bought a colorful raw Dime last January - sent it to PCGS
on an economy submission - Secure Plus - with True View.

I was hoping for an AU 58....

I was afraid it might be considered an "AT" REV...
many shades of blue are frowned upon...I was glad
this one made the "grade"...in a manner of speaking.

I do not see anything untoward or suspicious, at least not from the photo.

Yesterday, my YN talked me into this, a 1908 V nickel
in PCGS 62 with a Gold CAC.... I have two MS 64's - an AU 58
and an AU 50.... I wasn't nuts about paying MS 65 money for it either....

Very nice, Elbesaar!

Not sure if I could even begin to give it a grade, especially not knowing enough about this era's proof strikes.

If anyone is into Proof Barbers, I'd suggest looking at the Stacks-Bowers
upcoming auction on March 30th ...

" The Blue Moon Collection - Part One". There are a number of mid to
lower graded coins that look some what undergraded.

Of course, there is nothing like an in hand inspection.

I am bidding on a Proof Liberty Head Nickel - far from a High End Grade.
It looks like a nice coin and should blend in with my 63-66 Proof Set.

As you must realize, MS Barber "V" Nickels are considerably more
expensive than the Proof versions.

I'll let you know how I make out. My fingers are crossed.
