Well I got this in the mail today. Not sure who put these set together but all of the coins look great. You can tell that someone had a passion for this series. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.
Snagged this one on eBay a few days ago for just $9, a very nice cello packaging toned proof. Looks like a solid PR66BN to me, if it looks good enough in hand I might send it to PCGS to try to get the difficult PR67BN grade.

You should have two options where one option, as you state, is URL (for Photobucket, etc.) but the other option should allow you to upload an image if you are an "authorized" user via "Choose Files":
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
Not in great shape, but, hey, it was 50 cents at a flea market. International Coin Catalogue and Price List by Robert Friedberg, 4th edition, 1955. This copy made for Gimbel's department store in Philadelphia. I also like it because, while I never saw the Gimbels store before it was demolished, I worked in the Gimbels annex, which had been converted to an office building, for 12 years.
A better find was a worn but serviceable copy of the 4th edition of the Red Book, 1951-52, also for only 50 cents.
I feel confident in saying that I suspect even most serious VAM collectors do not know how rare this coin is, which is why I feel incredibly lucky to have one – even a problem one.
The total straight-graded population at PCGS is just 7, which is a huge problem for the 70 people who are participating in the Morgan "Super Set" Registry which requires this coin – especially since I'm pretty sure that one collector has three of them.
This is one of only two problem coins I have ever knowingly bought in 28 years of Morgan collecting. It was also the only opportunity I've ever had to get one, and I don't expect I'll ever get another.
A 1776 Dollar... magic date... but from Salzburg! Very well made compared to some other mints of the time.
("Hairlines" are on holder - the coin hasn't been messed with or even circulated much that I can see. Let me know tips for buffing these NGC slabs - I already tried some Slab Renew stuff...)
My thought is you can use a copy of this book if you desire to collect Conder Tokens. Buy the (Dalton & Hammer) book before the coin.

By the way many years back there was a thread……I think on the dark side that mentioned there was a D&H book
for sale(don’t remember where) so I clicked on it and snapped it up. It’s been in my safe ever since.
The price on this has gone up exponentially!
Glad I have one put away

My actual coin library is very small. Try to keep most on pdf files. Almost impossible unless I scan them myself.
I’ve started looking at book scanners several times for the Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900 by Russell Rulau …….But the book is about 5” thick and the thought of scanning all that tires me out before I even start!

Sellers pics, but the token looks exactly the same in hand.
