The 25 Days Of Barber Coins!!

Log Potato - I can't believe its been three & 1/2 years since Maddie's Birthday !!

My Dad was also born in 1917 - but he left us in 2008.
He was an inspiration and loved coins as much as I do.

Barbers were his favorite, too.

Its been ages since I sold you the 1905 Quarter - I'd love
to see it again !!


I spotted this 1892-S Ty 1 Quarter in a PCGS 58 Holder last
night - no CAC [yet] - not a screamer either - very subtle.

I had a nice one in my 1st set - it sold - a friend bought it off a dealer - I asked to buy it back [ friend forgot ]
and I have been searching for 5 years ....

Believe me, I have seen nicer 58's, but I have not seen a
Type One 92-S in 58 since mine sold.

Its off to CAC and then to Valente151 to get imaged...




The slab shot shows tons of luster...

Very nice!

This PCGS Proof Barber Half is a new addition. I've been looking for a nice Proof Barber Half for some time, without major flaws, but without being over the 2k-3k range, and this fit in nicely.

Adam...I hear you about Proof Barber halves...they can be very expensive in mid PR grades. What grade did they assign your 1894 ?

I have been searching for common dated Dimes I need for my
"Everyman" set at PCGS Registry. Today, I decided to add
this 1892 Phila issue - in PC 58 - the OBV is well toned
but, the REV seems very lustrous with a faint rim tone.

Yes, the images are terrible - but I am sure the coin will
hold its own when I get it.




I think I only paid a very slight premium for it and
I believe the toning will be much nicer in hand than in
the images.

Thanks for the follow up, Adam.

I have found that Proofs are hard to grade
from just images alone...


I picked up a couple of newps today... a nice
1903-O Dime in PCGS 62 - { I have an AU 58 }




I also nabbed a nice Proof Nickel for my budding
V nickel Proof Set...

Man, those Barber coins are VERY pretty when AU or better. What a beautiful design! You all have great examples!

Wow, very nice!
