matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 1:15 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/04/2012 10:17 am http://rpholder.tripod.com/GradingB...rHalves.html 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. Edited by matthewvincent 04/04/2012 10:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 01:52 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 04:21 am I'd go F-12 and I wouldn't disagree with F-15 but no more IMO. Quote: matthewvincent: (Sigh) Pickins are mighty poor out there! 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. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 07:43 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
