dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 9:39 pm Your Barbers are fantastic! Especially, compared to what I saw today. "Fine" Barbers are rare in my neck-of-the-woods! Bummer! Report this Post to the Staff
ericgreen Pillar of the Community United States 1510 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 09:08 am My two latest acquisitions. 1913 - Which I had posted in the grading forum. Bought raw. 1897-O - PCGS F12 - This will be the most expensive coin I have cracked out. Will be a bit nerve-racking. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 11:12 pm Beautiful set! 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."

ericgreen Pillar of the Community United States 1510 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 1:41 pm I picked this 1909 up a few weeks ago. It came in a PCGS slab. The reverse had a raised orange spot on the shield. I soaked it in acetone for a few hours and the orange spot dissolved. Before acetone: After: Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1307 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 06:27 am I love your coins, but I'm more impressived with your photos. How do you do the side by side? Edited by thecoinguy1964 04/05/2023 2:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 11:19 am I'm just starting on the same journey. After reading about the need to crack out fine condition barbers I think I'll go a different route. While I love coin albums I can't bring myself to cracking out certified coins. I think I will buy slabs for my raw coins and put in a three ring binder on lighthouse pages. It won't look as nice as an album though. Report this Post to the Staff

I resize an image to be the side-by-side size of both images together, delete the stretched out image. Then copy/paste in the observe and reverse and align them. Doesn't take too long. Quote: After reading about the need to crack out fine condition barbers I think I'll go a different route You can definitely find raw examples, especially of the common dates, it will most likely just take a lot longer. ebay is full of lots of raw cleaned and lower grade ones. An occasional F-VF does pop up in decent condition, but I have just found the selling price usually isn't much lower than a certified example. LCS and shows are another great way, and I am all for getting them raw there, I personally have just had trouble finding them in the condition I want.
