My pleasure, Ninja,
I do not have many, but I am especially happy with this.
A 1901-O Quarter.
I bought it raw, as a fine, between 1988 and 1992.
I paid $27 for it. I still have the 2X2 somewhere.
In retrospect, I think that the dealer was not a specialist in the Barber series.
In 2005 I sent it into ANACS.
It came back --- VF 30.
Let me know what you learn from studying it.
When I get the hang of the new machine I'll do better with the pictures. These photos are from the scan made back in 2005.
My best,
Matthew

I found this as I was loading backup files on the new machine.
It focuses on the "LIBERTY" from VF-30 to a VG-10+.

The picture is an invaluable aid to these troublesome mid-grade Barbers.

I feel the need to correct myself. I think I had a little too much gin that night. Or something. Definitely 15, perhaps because of the exceptional eye appeal (to me, were I selling) 20 tops.

Now I'm going to read everything the expert wrote.

I'd go F-12 and I wouldn't disagree with F-15 but no more IMO.

Agreed Barber coins in choice original condition are getting really hard to find, I have a few old clients still contacting me about certain coins they just can't find. Most are in the high XF/AU range. Really slim pickings as of the past few years.

I'll give it a " somewhere around fine" grade. Personally I thing anything above the lower end grade of "good" is a nice collectible example of a barber. Back in the day these saw some heavy circulation. Thats a nice gun metal toned coin you have there.
