Just me, but I'd crack that ANACS open and put the '92-S in the Dansco.  My Barber half set started with a 1915-D I bought as a teenager and a pocket piece 1906-S "Earthquake" half. Then all of a sudden I decided it was time to complete the set lol. Edited by DoubleEagle20

Can you post the reverses? My Barber half set is also complete, but many of the 19th century coins are challenged to have full rim reverses. I have been improving my set in this regards.
Thanks for posting.

Impressive coinage. Color me green.  How long did it take you to accumulate all of these dates & mints? Which was the most difficult? |

As you mentioned the reverses of Barber coins seem to wear worse then the obverse for some reason. I'll try to get some reverse pics this weekend if I have time but you will have to be dyslexic to match the obverse to the reverse since the reverses will be backwards  |

I do regret sending my 1923S SLQ in as I liked looking at it in line in the album.    |

Only lack 1919-D,S and 1923-S on the SLQ's. The 1916 SLQ has a barber in the slot...lol. Not going to chase after a 1916, when I'm not really hardcore on the series. Understandable on slabbing them to keep track of them.
I like that 1892-S, it has character to it.

Very nice album AND pictures Jack~!! Someday I am going to have to study how these nice pictures are done. Interestingly the Barber half dollar was my second completed set. Mercury dimes were my first |

What a great set. I love seeing these old classic coins in complete sets or near complete sets. Some of the old classics are near impossible to complete (most seated and bust coinage, for example). The Barber dime and half sets are probably the oldest silver sets in which a complete set is truly doable. Morgan dollar set is not attainable for most collectors due to the 93-S key. The Barber quarter set also has 3 keys, making it nearly impossible to complete. |
