    1857! As much as I love proof Barbers, the color on that one is titillating.





    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    I like the Barber. I lover Seated coins but Barbers are my favorite series in proof. They just look so sharp and nice and the design really pops.

    Not mine anymore but my old type set examples.

    Thanks @lermish Yeah, the 1898 has a certain aura about it...The obverse device has great cameo frost, which you can't get from the photo. The color on your old 1881 is just dynamite....That's a favorite look for these coins.....

    This one is currently being graded. It checks all the boxes for a toned Cameo Proof.

    It’s a hard choice between the 1898 and the 1857 but I think the 1857 wins by a slight margin. It looks fantastic!
