pcgs proof65 deep cameo 1910 barber quarter 65/66 for the grade and solid deep cameo reverse with a deep cameo plusplus obverse which is not only ultra rare for a barber quarter obverse but for a post 1900 barber quarter!!!!!!!!! in other words usually you see the deep cameo on the reverse but the obverse barely makes cam!
this coin also looks much better in person with clean clear not hazy or cloudy or white spotted mirrors a coin like this is very hard to scan and the human eye needs to see this coin!
and this coin is one of the first strikes off of a new fresh die! as the designs meet the fields at a 90 degree angle the reverse is a no brainer very nice 66++ with only light hairlines in the fields at 3 and 9 pm keeing this coin from 66++
and this coin was once in a 66 holder!!!!!!!!!!!
yes yes yes
but someone cracked it out of its respective holder and got the 65.......lol
this coin is worth more out of its holder than in its holder
OH WELL BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME...............LOL LOL LOL

another WOW
and also the hairlines are always in the right field....lol never fails and again you are right this coin is a very nice 65 and as it should be!
very astute you have an excellent eye dog!
your accessment of the coin and its charactistics are correct! the deep cameo is deeper in person though but with photos even the best ones are really noyt good as usually the coin needs to be sight seen and then by someone who knows waht they are looking at and all that together is a rare very rare combination!

But I always laugh to myself thinking isn't that why we have the darn things? Ok I feel better having said that.

the grading services pcgs/ngc really overall do a very great job with what they have to deal with
they have to do it in a fast efficient and cost effective manner and do it overall correctly............. wow to me an almost impossible task
but like i said they overall do a great job. just make sure if you buy a coin in one of these holders only buy great coins with superb eye appeal
then i think you got the cream of the crop!
Thats what I meant it was a gift.

i guess with the crackout game some have great expectations based on much inexperience
well here is one coin that finally got correctly graded!!!......lol like you say a very nice 65 but not a 66 at least not this time around......lol and really you can show a coin to the most experienced specialists in a certain field and they will never ever agree! grading is an art not a science and most all coins could go a point or at the very least half a point either way just the way it is
just make sure if you buy a coin in a holsder it is a great coin has great eye appeal and is correctly graded and better yet undergraded

stman I say that thing about a glass a lot. Kinda like this: You make a scan of a coin that looks clean to post here asking for opinions or to sell it and the enlarged pictures show spots and hairlines you never noticed. So you say wow my scanner went funky and get a glass and look at your coin and sure nuff the spots & hairlines are really there.
As you know I own the other 1910 PCGS PR65 DCAM 25c. Mine has light peripheral toning. I wish that I had a scan of mine, sorry. I love these DCAM Barbers, especially the post-1900 years. Post 1900 DCAMS are especially RARE!
The only post 1900 year that I am surprised not to see a DCAM graded by the PCGS yet is the 1911. If a gem example surfaces you know that I'll be all over it like acne on a fry cook.
I'm also hoping a 1907 will surface in the near future in DCAM. The 1907, 1910 and 1911 are my predictions for the only years that will have coins graded in DCAM post-1900 for the Barber quarter proofs. If another year makes the grade I will be really surprized.
i have seen your photo of the 1910 barber in deep cameo and it is a monster deep cameo!
a real ddep cameo and superb!
