Thanks for sharing these. I just purchased a Barber Half album. This will probably be a decades long endeavor for me. You should share an updated view of the album filling up if you haven't already.

Best of luck! What grade range are you looking to do?

Yes, I need to do that. My 1904-S and 1897-O are still sitting in PCGS holders. I have been waiting to crack those out until I mastered that skill, since they are more expensive. I will try to get those out and into the album this week then post updated photos.

I've had good success with these style of pliers; the only holder I've found tough to crack are older PCI holders. I start at the corners and work around the holder.

I bought Dansco albums for all of the Barber sets and I'm furthest along on the half dollars. If I'm being honest, they are AG to G and maybe a VG in there. They are mostly common days but I did manage to pick up the 1913-15 P halves. I got most of them in 90% purchases except for those mentioned.

Good luck with your journey.

The care you have poured into assembling this set really shows in the developing product @eg.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
