justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 01:12 am edit- I suppose remembering to post the link would be helpful http://www.ebay.com/itm/1897-O-Barb...331147196120 its been a while since I found one that I consider worthy of this thread. I REALLY REALLY hope that this coin was a lost cause already before they did it. if not sorry for all smilies but I think they are warranted in this case, I don't think I can put my feelings into words and even if I could it would probably be the last post I posted on here Edited by justin3651 03/14/2014 01:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 03:42 am I couldn't believe it when I saw it either. even if its hiding something I still think it would of been a lot more valuable before doing this than after. As it sits now if the seller were to show up at my door with it and offered it for $20 I would laugh and offer them $5 for the novelty value.

Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 11:59 am Possibly so. I'm just thinking if you are going to go all that effort to ruin a nice coin just buff it. Report this Post to the Staff

justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 04:17 am The more I look at the more I begin to wonder if that's really a gold plating, it looks like someone tried to color it with a marker almost, and they missed the design and ran over the design in places. I am going to contact him and see what he knows about it. I just wont mention that while I am "fairly interested" in the coin that interest does not include an interest in buying it.

Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 09:26 am Quote: The more I look at the more I begin to wonder if that's really a gold plating It is plated. Whether it's gold or not is a different story. They have a solution where you can brush it on in strokes with like a paint brush and some electrical gizmo. Just looks like they didn't take the time to stay between the lines. I kinda hope your right and it is just marker. Wow. Of all the Barbers to do that to, why one of the rarest?

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 10:53 am Anybody want to grade this fine object: ebay.com/itm/151254400493 ? I did tell him it was probably the worst photo in ebay. There s more detail in the face on Mars. Still barely enough to tell him it was in the wrong category!! -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
