The Barber quarter looks to be about ms62. Some small scratches in the face and neck of liberty as well as the fields. Great eye appeal. The half dome appears to have extensive clashing on both sides but also a few field scratches. I would say ms62 or 63. Again, great eye appeal. Congratulations on these great looking coins.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Barber Quarter-MS64
Seated Half Dime-MS62
My best guess on both, not a grader.

Love full white Barbers. Some have beautiful toning, but this is a "winter is coming" white winner. No question MS with full undisturbed field luster and not a hint of rub anywhere. MS 64. Before I forget - your photos were fantastic. No apologies necessary. That little silver button is also superb. I have to be at an easy 63, and 64 wouldn't shock me. Both full 100% eye appeal. Two seriously lovely coins.  |

Off topic, but did you pick up those DL coins? I think I know which ones you were talking about.

MS63 on the quarter. The first picture makes it look terrible, the second one makes it look gorgeous. The Half Dime is MS62 or so with nice die clashes on both sides.

At least I nailed the dime. Neither one justifies a resubmit IMO.

Yea there isn't a justification to spend the money unless the price skyrockets in the next grade. They are definitely nicer pieces and perhaps I may give them to my friend to maybe submit to CAC.
