    That's a VERY nice looker. I basically gave up looking for these a while back. Tough to find.

    BTW, that's one heck of an image. Wish I had images of some of my coins that looked as good as this.image
    I've got a few "Original" coins I hope to have imaged some day.

    When I was your age, I was spending most of my spare cash on drugs, alcohol, and trips to see the grateful dead.... I'm guessing things must be much different for you...... image
    While I think that barber coins look like ugly men in drag, that's a nice looking quarter!! image

    Jeremy - Did you see the hoard of 1893 quarters at the show? Your coin was from that group.

    Don't know if there are... this was the nice one I was able to get... I didn't see any similar ones, although Bill did have two other barbers (half and quarter), which I didn't like as much as this.
