    Well, I'm running low on OGH coins, but in the interest of keeping the thread going, I'll dip into the lower tier of my modest cache. Here's a Peace dollar I snagged on GC a few years ago for $47 all-in (plus shipping and tax). It's the only Peace dollar I currently own, but I've been on the lookout for more recently.

    Wow, really nice for a 64. They were tough on that one.

    I'm saddened that you think you are running low on OGHs. I've really enjoyed this thread in order to see the beautiful pieces still in the older holders.

    Yes, it's been a great thread, handily exceeding my expectations. You and @boiler78 have done a lot of the heavy lifting! Big thanks to both of you, and to everyone else who's contributed thus far. I guess the good news is I hope to be adding more OGH coins to my collection and will try to post them here when I do. Everyone else is encouraged to do likewise.

    I've don't a lot of US in this thread as well as a bit of Canadian and Newfoundland, so I'll get this going with an Irish piece from the 1940s. For those unaware, this coinage is devilishly difficult to find with good eye appeal and in high grade. It is even more vexing if one wants to find OGH examples. Obviously, the OGH has inherently nothing to do with the coin, but if I didn't occasionally put some limit on my purchases I would be broke! :o

    This is one of a pair of shillings that I have in OGHs as well as pretty much an entire type set from this era. It might read odd or strange, but I have always been attracted by the harp and animal motif on these pieces.

    Beautiful coin. Really rare to find them. I have kept a look out myself but it doesn't hit the market much at all. Given the opportunity to have a similar one I'm sure I'd be unable to pass it up. Thanks for sharing.

    I've always wanted one of those. It's such a unique and beautiful design! Your example is of course especially nice! :)

    so many nice coins in this group,

    boiler, that 1795 Half dime is just incredible. I was looking for one for the past while, and found one coming up in the near future, and its nice, but after looking at yours, I believe you just killed that purchase . Ill wait

    If you were the immediate underbidder on that 1909-S then you really didn't bid all that much over MS64/CAC money for the coin based upon the most recent auction data. Regardless, the winner appears to have secured a nice coin. Had you seen it in-hand? I ask because I am wondering what PCGS might have been thinking with respect to the original grade (if there are slight hairlines, dullish luster, whatever...).

    Thanks for the info, Tom. I don't currently own any Barber coinage or generally have a feel for that market, and I didn't do any recent auction research. I did check the CAC price guide and I bid over what is listed there for an MS65 CAC example. I might have gone higher if I'd been able to ascertain that the coin in question was actually gem from the photos. Since I wasn't certain of that, I didn't go full nuke. It would have been nice to win since I really like the skin on that coin (and the OGH, of course), but it's not a rare coin by any stretch. Hopefully something else will cross my path soon to fill the Barber void in my collection.

    The problem you had in that auction was the gold CAC sticker. There have only been 17-gold CAC stickers given out for the entirety of the business strike Barber quarter series and only 11-of those stickers have been for coins grading at least MS63. At that point, it becomes quite a rare beast.

    I have one of those coins in my own collection, but it is in an old NGC holder so it won't appear in this thread. ;)

    I've got plenty more, but just felt like I was monopolizing it too much. In the spirit of your statue I will add this medal until next week-

    They are indeed hard to find. I recently just sold a pair of them. A lovely toned 1893 25c in a PCGS MS63 OGH GCAC and a 1913-S PCGS MS64 GCAC. Searching for old pics of the 1893 since the 1913-S is not OGH and will also not appear in this thread.

    Wish this one wasn't in your OGH set. Need this coin for a project.
