Help me celebrate a full album!
Not too many compromises... Most/all G06-F, with some eye and jawline.
Barber quarters might be next, but I hate starting something I can't finish... π

Awesome set, and the '95-O looks like one of the nicer early coins in there.
Over 25 years ago I did this set in the same album. I bought a bunch of coins sight-unseen from a mail order auction after sending a common date to the auctioneer saying "every month I am going to ask you to check some lots and tell me if they match this."
Not long after completing the set, I sold it to pay for our wedding photographer. I still have the wife, but I kinda wish I had the coins too.

@moursund β great set, how long were you working on it? Any advice to collectors βjust starting outβ on a Barber dime set? Any surprises along the way?
Always good to finish a set.
Awesome.
Iβm plugging along on my Roosie album. Must feel great to finish up a long time project π
πΆ shout shout, let it all out πΆ
Nice set. I completed a set sometime in the early '90's. Took me 10 years to assemble it. The 1900-O was the toughest one to find. Sold my set in '97 to buy wife and me an airbed.Can't say I made money by selling but don't think I lost money either. That set was a lot of fun.

I used to work with a collector who had completed a Whitman tri-fold Barber Dime album. Including the 1894-S. James G. Johnson. Check the pedigrees on the circulated specimens.
Nice set. Your 1900-O looks like a 1901 in the pics ?
Congrats on your complete set! Barber Dimes are definitely a fun set to collect. Some of the semi-keys definitely are pretty tough in the grade you have specified in problem-free condition.

Really beautiful to see all those Barber dimes in the old album....Fantastic set! Love it....

What tha?!? Dang now I'll have to pull it out of the safe and see what's going on! π¨

Looks like a 1900 to me.![;) ;)](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/wink.png)

Very nice looking set, congratulations on your accomplishment! Love doing sets in albums.
Did this a while back, but I agree, a Barber quarter collection is a steep climb. So, I chickened out and am working on Barber halves.
DANG, w/o super blowing it up, it does look like a 1 but it is a 0.
Good work!
Really nice set... and always a good feeling when done. That 1900 O sure does look like a 1901. Cheers, RickO
Good job. Quarters will be tougher.

Nice set, and nicely matched as well! Love the old-school Whitman albums.
Congrats!
I too like like those albums. I have one for Seated Liberty dimes but don't see that getting completed.

You've put together a nice set! Any thoughts about taking it to the next level with VF coins? It's a shame the 1895-O is so disproportionately expensive.
Very nice set! That's a fun set to put together I did mine in G to VG coins and If I remember correctly I sold it off around 2014. I used the proceeds wisely I think, and I've never regretted not having the set. To me the fun is in the putting together so I don't really miss 'em when they're gone.
Congrats! Tougher set than the halves for sure.

Good work and so much fun Iβm sure- I like that set- congratulations!
