That's a great Barber type set! Nice to have the tie-in with your father's collecting interest and also having some examples from his personal collection, as well.

hfjacinto, I have this 1911 in an ICG MS-65 holder. I picked it up for a very reasonable price several years ago. It's one of a number of mint state Liberty nickels in my collection. I like them, too. I would like to add a PCGS or NGC example in MS-65 someday.   Paul Bulgerin

Paul, That is a fantastic type set! Thank you for sharing the story of your dad's collection and how you got your start. Those are the moments that make us all remember why we became collectors. We appreciate you!

I have one more special Barber to add to this post. Today, after nearly ten years of metal detecting, I dug up my first Barber dime. I found it along the bank of a local river. It is an 1899. Although the rocky ground has left it a bit nicked up, with all the details it has, it must have been lost just a few years after it was minted. I found a well-worn Barber quarter, also an 1899, eight years ago while detecting a local house tear down. That one is in my collection, too.  Paul Bulgerin
