barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5847 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 8:25 pm I got my Christmas present to myself in the mail the other day, a proof Barber half dollar to complete my set of proof Barber coinage, and I couldn't be happier! Here's the complete set for your viewing pleasure: And, just to round off the set (since there aren't any Barber Dollars): Expanded Digital U.S. Type Set Album \| Dansco 8100 (Lincon Cents) Album \| Digital Proof Type Set \| Digital U.S. Currency Type Set \| Foreign Bullion Coins Report this Post to the Staff

Cruisinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 1531 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 8:50 pm I'll trade you a rock and some pocket lint... In all seriousness, those are stunning coins, but you're missing Barber's Liberty 5 cent! You can get those in proof pretty cheap. Well, *relatively* cheap, anyway... Edit: Boy, the strike is amazing on those! Edited by Cruisinfusion 01/02/2015 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5847 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 8:50 pm Ah, you guys are right. Barber designed the Liberty nickel so I should have included the nickel to begin with: I'm still looking to get a proof Seated Liberty half dime, btw, and then I'll have my Seated Liberty proof set complete as well.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15402 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 9:10 pm Quote: but you're missing Barber's Liberty 5 cent! barryg lovely set is also missing all the classic commemorative attributed to Charles E. Barber during his tenure as US Mint chief engraver. I could list them - but the purpose of this thread is not to collect every Barber designed coin. Hence ... IMHO ... the Liberty nickel is superfluous to this post. I politely suggest that a lovely set can indeed be made from the examples shown ... dime, quarter and half. These are the 'Barber' coins that most remember ... and barryg tremendous proof examples are all well representative of the series.
