The 25 Days Of Barber Coins!!

Just a quick note about the 1892 Dime I posted the other
day - the images were - yes - absolutely terrible. Well,
the coin arrived today ... This little coin ranks right up
there as one of the prettiest Dimes in my collection.

I had a few newps going to CAC - and this went with them.
Professional images are definetly in order....

Found this on ebay tonight - and although I own its
duplicate [ ex: Don Willis of PCGS's coin ] I only
paid half for this one...not a bad deal if I say so...

Thanks, Jbuck, I thought so as well.

I have been searching for a 1914-S Quarter in AU for
what seems like forever. Well, I was offered a nice AU 55
from a friend who upgraded to an AU 58 ...Here's my newp:




This coin once came out of the old Briercreek Collection in
North Carolina - and before that out of a collection in
Illinois. It was sold to a friend in Georgia - who was nice
enough to offer it to me. Thanks, CCT !

My friend also bought a stunning - incredible, actually -
1895 Phila Quarter -as I had a mediocre looking MS 63
which I was planning on replacing anyway - well, he
offered me his duplicate AU 58 - which I love:





A couple more images to come - but I do not want to
clog up the system !!

I picked up a raw Dime - which I am hoping gets graded
AU 58 - There's enough surface disturbance that I know
the coin won't grade MS - but not too much wear to lower
the grade to AU 55...I am being optimistic !!

Again, part of the Heir and Spare Collection theory:

I have a MS 64 and no AU ... so ... here's hoping:

Thought this one would be nice for this thread...

SRS77.. That's a wonderful coin. A real beauty. Regardless of grade.

Not a lot new since my last post....picked up a 1900 Nickel ICG 58
which is going to get cracked out and submitted to PCGS with a few
other raw coins....(the images are terrible - the coin looks like a grey
blob )....Also,going in raw to PCGS is a nice 1901 Dime in a newer Anacs
holder - which graded AU 58 ( which I will crack out as well...)
... and a raw 1911 Dime that I have not received as yet - due next week - it
looks nicer than a 55 but not a MS coin... My gut said 58, I hope I am right.
Looks very original. The image of the 1911 are in a previous post.
The AU coins are for the Everyman sets.

Have a Happy Fourth of July !!

Well, that submission arrived today - pretty fast shipping
for a Registered Box.

They shipped me my previous submission of Thursday -
I don't expect it till the weekend. Two Barber dimes CAC'd:
1892- Phila [ very well toned ] in PC 58 &
1916-S in PC 58 - off white/ crème tone with loads of
Luster.

I was disappointed that the 09-O Dime in PC 58 =
Did Not Pass....


My new Ty 1 - 1892-S Quarter - also a 58 and my newer
1905-S Half in PC 53 - well, these were shown the door
without a Green or Gold sticker...VERY Disappointed !I had some ebay Bucks to use up [ I have forgotten about this too often ! ]

Here's a decent { MS 63 } 1914-D to go into my collection:



I have another MS 63 - but some thing is wrong with it:

I have a nice 1914-D in PCGS 58 {CAC} as well...
but the images are terrible, IMHO.




Its the old Heir and Spare Collecting Theory !!

I had my current photographer image my AU 58 -
