Finally done..complete proof barber set..67.97

scher

Its sure taken awhile but i just listed this complete set all proof barbers..dimes quarters and halves..average grade surpasses all old sets listed (Eliasberg,Childs) and is the only current set listed..There are still a couple of coins I would like to improve upon, but i think I have a bead on those few as well..thanks to all that have helped me with this "super set" Legend,Pinnacle,Whitlow,Iskowitz,and fellow Collector "Zerbe"..

Congrats, that is one fine set. It looks like there is very little you can improve upon!

WOW

Zerbe

Bruce, that is an awfull lot of high grade barbers for one person to possess. Great job rounding up all those rascals. An awesome, complete set.

You're done!!! I was hoping you had more coins to buy for this set so that you would have less money to spend in the upcoming Heritage ANA sale of Commems!!! Don't you think you should concentrate on getting those last few upgrades on the Barbers to have a PERFECT SET?

Compa

Very, very nice! But you forgot to post all the photos.

Zerbe

I find it amazing that Bruce only needs probably one coin to reach a Proof 68 average for the entire Barber series ! There is not the slightest possibility of any 'Phantom Set' appearing overnite to claim the 'All Time Finest' spot. Congratulations again Bruce. You must be selling an awfull lot of tires !!!

Way to go, Bruce! We're not worthy!

Seriously.... I smell a Long Beach set display. Where's BJ?

Stooge

That set is literally "Jawdropping"

i can't believe some of these collections. That one is pretty much impossible to match. Ever.

Way to go Bruce, your sets are amazing!

Brilliant as usual, Bruce! This is definitely up to your usual impressive standards!

Bruce,

Do you collect white coins or toned coins...or a combination of both coins ?

There is a collector in Oklahoma with unquestionably the BEST proof Barber quarter collection ever assembled.He is a client of Larry Sheperd.He also has a proof Barber dime and half collection.He is listed on the NGC registry

Do you plan to exhibit your coins?

Congratulations on a Tremendous set! And a nice pair of upgrades too

I'm dying to know..... why does one of the new ones say 'upgraded' and the other say 'updated'??

scher

Bruce, I wouldnt have noticed that if you didnt point it out...all I can figure is that the 1898 was "upgraded" cause I had a 67DC and replaced it with a really cool 68DC and the 1915 was a 66 that was replaced with a 66 cameo..so best I can tell if the cain stays the same numerically it is only "updated"..a change in the number must trigger the "upgraded"...
Bruce Scher

DrPete

That is correct. The same numerical grade gives the term, "updated" whereas a higher grade yields "upgraded." This can be whether you are dealing with a new coin or a regrade situation.

PM sent.

Awesome sets! Ultra PR Barbers are the most beautiful coins around.

Your lucky I collect Ultra Cameos in NGC, or I'd give you a run for your money!

Destined for the Hall of Fame. This will be one of the finest HOF sets ever assembled.

Congratulations Bruce
