okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 11:55 am Still upgrading my completed 7070 to AU or BU as money allows. Just picked up a 1914-D Barber dime in MS-65 at the bid board at my coin store. I also have a bid in on a MS-62 1866 Shield nickel with Rays. That one is very expensive (gulp) but I just had to have it. If I win that one all my nickels will be uncirculated. I also picked up this toned 1893 Columbian Half Dollar to replace the very dark one I currently have in the album. Here are the seller pictures. Not sure about grade or artificial toning and would welcome any opinions. Image: Colombobv.jpg 35.88 KB Image: Colomborev.jpg 34.28 KB Report this Post to the Staff

My bid board occasionally has $100-200 coins but nothing like MS65 Barbers As far as the Columbian, that is one of the best raw examples I have seen in a while, lovely golden-rainbow toning and solid MS64. If it has any rub, I don't see it in the pics. Report this Post to the Staff
okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 12:48 pm Well Bio the Barber dime is raw, but it is flawless as far as I can see, with just a tiny mark on the cheek. The winning bid was in the $100-200 range you mentioned. Loaded with luster and not cleaned or dipped. My very experienced dealer, with no ulterior motive, called it a 64 or 65 when I showed it to him after I won it. There were a couple of other Barbers in MS grade, but the 14-D was the best. Dealer told me he wished he had a chance to buy them before the guy hung them. Lately some really nice coins have been showing up. I attribute it to the economy. Of course there is still lots of junk also. Thanks for the opinion on the half. I hope it looks like that in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 11/09/2008 08:32 am Thanks all. Well I won the 1866 Shield nickel with Rays so that makes all my 7070 nickels uncirculated. Believe I will stop spending for awhile and try and be happy. Who am I kidding? Report this Post to the Staff
