Barber Half lovers. Check out this link to a thread on the Registry side of the house. Maybe now the 92-P TDR, 07-S/S amongst others will now be incuded in the "With Varieties".

Something tells me that Craig has the 92TDR...I have the 07-S/S...and for the life of me I haev trouble seeing the TDR - unless I can borrow a stereo microscope from someone, I don't I'll ever get to see one.

Because of this infintesimal die doubling, I doubt PCGS will designate the TDR...I could be wrong though. The 07-S/S is at least visable to the naked eye.

If only a certain someone would get his 98-O Micro O holdered at PCGS, they could add that coin to the "With Varieties" set as well. Although currently believed to be unique, there have to be others out there unbeknownst to their owners.

A very nice 14-P a tough coin to find even with the big price increase over the last few years

The 1914 is one of the fastest appreciating coins in the half series. Yours definitely has VF30 details, even though it looks the bottom of BER on LIBERTY is a bit weak. Nonetheless, it is a beaut.

Tyler,

This coin should look familiar:


...okay I don't know what's going on... will try again...

If I'm not mistaken, the coin MrBreeze is illustrating used to be one of three or four VF 1914 halves I had. This one had those two toning spots on the obverse and was from eBay about 4-5 years ago. it came with a photocertificate from oldtime ANACS certification. I still have the photograph and would be happy to send it to the coin's new owner. Just PM me.

Another exciting coin to note is the 1904-S half in PCGS MS 64 on Harry Laibstain's web site. Not cheap but a very rare coin.

Wish I could say I have this coin, but I don't want to go to jail.

Sweet pattern Pete.

Mike, no, I don't have a TDR but have been watching a certain first gen ANACS slab 1892-P TDR that looks like it could 45.

MFH

Craig,

I don't have access to the ANACS POP Report, but NGC has these 1892 TDR coins listed:

AU 53 - ( 1 )
AU 55 - ( 1 )
AU 58 - ( 1 )
MS 62 - ( 2 )
MS 63 - ( 1 )
MS 64 - ( 2 )

Total: 8 coins.

BTW: NGC does not currently recognize the 1907-S/S. ( at least its not listed on their POP Report. )

I'm amazed that you were able to take the image of that pattern without your hands shaking.
Nice image, Peter.

Sunnywood

Here's a nice 1894-O quarter to go with the beautiful half posted by Dr Pete:



And here are a couple more beauties ...







Best,

DrPete

Mike,

You're right. The pattern illustrated was viewed at the Smithsonian along with multiple others of the halves and quarters. You pick them up with your bare hands, place them on a background (here I used the back cardboard of a legal pad, and take a picture with the camera you bring.

I hear that many of the coins are now holdered in special NGC holders that can be opened when needed for study, but keep the coins better protected. Know that I didn't add any dings, nicks or scratches to the coins I looked at there.

New camera? What is it, one of those cell phone things?

DrPete

Love the 1849 twenty dollar gold. Would rather have that then one of the 1933's. Only one known at Smithsonian. Great coin.
