A little jumpy aren't we? Wow! Who starts a classic "Days of..." thread off with a proof set?  ( Putting back my "circulated" Barber coins away and closing the lid)  Edited by oih82w8

Now, just WHERE did I put my rhyming dictionary? Ahem. Ok. A few of us, ok, a lot Will have a Dime and Quarter. And while my halves are not so great My dimes make most mouths water!  And while I'll be outdone on most I'll state it quite direct: My dimes make dealers point me out: "Ya gotta see his set!" A set of all 74 Quite balanced as to strike. From Fine to AU, decent shape, Oh for the love of Mike! I gotta say, to be most true Moe has thrown done the glove. So I shall rise up to the task And plague Moe from above. (And below, and from side to side. Tease tease!) The best "days of ..." thread ever? Those "V" nickels are a tough act to follow. But I'll give it my best shot! |

Windycity,
You can edit your own post and replace it with a humble apology.
Click on the third icon, above your post and the one with the pencil, and delete the text. Then throw yourself on our collective mercy.
Not to worry. Go and sin no more! I forgive your enthusiasm.
But BOY, this is gonna be tougher than the nickels!
(See, we Barber people are vicious, tenacious, obsessed and quite vocal! THANKS, MOE!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh, and poetry, while not required, livens up a "days of ..." thread.
On second thought, Windy, leave those proofs be. We all need to drool over them as we wait!
Will garner interest in Moe's thread.

Alas, my friends,
I have failed you.
I promised A "V" Nickel,
But I was untrue.
I give you word,
salutations and all.
That I will post Barbers,
that will make appall.
My Barbers aren't best,
None better than Great.
But they are from a collection,
of a man sadly late.
So please hear me out,
my collection ill show,
It wont be as pretty,
But ill give it a go!
And now with that, may the games begin!

Really, these Barber coins are outstanding. They inspire. We do not have the cache of the CC Mint, nor gold, nor proof Walkers. But what we do have is --- recognition. Most everyone has a few, sadly worn. To share our slightly better coins is a gift of love and of ... not a gift, but rather: BRAGGING! We all need to brag a little. And Moe, behind a wall of false modesty, does the same - gotta love Moe! Now, how do I scan about seven dimes in slabs and make them clear? Have not figured that out yet. And wait: my 1895-O Dime and 1913-S quarter are about to get their day in the sunshine! Go, Moe, start the show! Oh, yes Matthew, patience. Wait, wait ... Three a day for twenty-five days ... minus the 94-S, lots of scans to be done of the dimes. My quarters and halves must be limited to those which are a tad nicer than slick. |

On the V nickel thread I did bail, too much with moving or not, so pics to take I did fail, and my participation went to pot. Still our move is in the air, Barbers we have right on this table, I will caution so to be fair, pics we may post if we are able. But half are packed already! A Dansco with dimes of low repute, Are boxed with George Ike and Kennedy, The ladies SBA and Sac ugly and cute. So those that remain free may get on here we shall see If fate does not sneer. (OK, that verse is a bit rough LOL) Iffin we can, we shall post. |
