Tom - That's a sweet little 01-O dime. Great contrast between the fields/devices. Send it to me, and I'll lick it for you (to remove the fuzz). No charge.
Mike - Sweet 93-S. I feel a long run of your AU halves coming on......something radical has to happen to get us to 1,000
Dave
Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
Dave99B, I am sorry to say that I do not have all the images of my AU/MS set of halves. I'm pretty sure that I do have most dates of my mid range set imaged though.
Again, to keep this thread moving, the next date in my collection:
1894-O :
I thought I'd post the image of an 1894-S dime but you would laugh at my feeble attempt of trying to pull the wool over your eyes !!! LOL
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Boy Mike, if we could just add a little more detail to that 94-O, we would be talking. It's almost like wishing for a board extender/stretcher when you cut a piece of lumber to short.
I have my eyes on a 94-O and a 97-S. Should know the results in a couple of days. The 97-S has about the same level of obverse detail as my PXGS XF40 but the reverse is definetely stronger. Maybe I submit both together I will get that coveted XF45 grade.
I haven't submitted my 05-P yet as I am waiting for a few more raw coins to even out an 8-piece submission.
I'm at 7,600 words out of a needed 9-12,000 on my thesis. I'm getting there.
I've won a 97-S and a 94-O. When I get them in, off to PCGS they go with the 05-P I have. Fingers crossed, but here's hoping I have a complete XF45 set within a month.
I'll be sure to get the coins Tru-Viewed for everyone's pleasure.
Not much compared to what's being posted here lately; but heres a couple bigger pics of the 93-O and 95-O that I had a hard time finding nice in VG....at least I think they're nice...
Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.
I left off with the 1899 on my last post and there have been some very nice coins posted since.
Brandon, I was tracking that 1901-S, I think you picked up a super looking coin !!
Also, AZLARRY, that's a great looking 1901 Dime.
Well, here's my 1900-P Half from my primary set:
Here's one from my secondary set:
Out of sequence, but here's the latest addition to my primary set, something that I have been searching for quite a long time; most of these I have seen offered have been in MS, and this is the first AU 58 I have seen available:
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
To play catch - up with the date progression, here's a few 1901's:
The above coin is now in a PCGS 64 holder.For the life of me, I thought it'd go MS 65 @ PCGS !!!
Lets keep this Thread moving...would like to see 1,000 posts. I sure know that Dan would like to see this too as well as most of the Barber collectors on this Forum.
If only Redshoulder would start posting, I know you'd be pleased with his Barber halves as I have been. He just added a really nice 1897-S in PCGS AU 55 and I'd love to post it for him, but I don't want to steal his thunder. Come on Dave, show us your collection. [ There isn't one image attached to his Registry Set either !!]
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I'm still shaking my head that I located the 1892 TDR; I own an 1892 DDR quarter and a 1892-O DDO quarter but the TDR has eluded me in AU. Glad that I finally located it.
On to the date series - and its :
1902 :
The above 1902-O quarter is far more difficult to locate than the casual Barber collector realizes. Try and locate one that has not been messed with. Its nearly impossible. MS examples are available occasionally however - but, for a price.
I picked up the above 1902-S half from a Heritage sale in November, 2002.
One more image... a 1902-O Half, from my mid range set:
And another 1902-O from my best set [ Ex: ANACS MS 61 ] Now PCGS AU 58:
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Dave99B. I picked up the 1901-P half from an ANR auction in December of 2005.
It seems as if in my haste to add images to boost the thread count - not specifically to boost my person post count - I have neglected to pause and really admire the coins posted by others.
Dan, I really like the look of that 1899 half.
Don, your collection is one of the best matched ones I've had the pleasure of viewing.
Kiyote, that's an excellent looking 1916 dime.
BlueLobster, stunning 1907 quarter. What's it grade ?
SMK, is the 12-D half part of a type set or are you going for the whole kit & kaboodle ? Nice coin.
MercuryDimeGuy, love both the 1900 proof quarter & 1892 ms half. Got grades ? --- I'm horrible grading high end Proofs and MS's by images---
Commemdude, that's a great looking coin. Great patina...gotta love that coin.
Am glad to see others posting their coins. I knew I wasn't the only Barber Guy out there !
Dave99B...start adding images again, I really like the different angles of your images.
Tomorrow...1903...until then ...
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike, I bought it for my type set but I'm having second thoughts on breaking it out of the slab. I might just hold on to it and find another for the type set.
Mike that 03 XF-45 just doesn't look right...I think it would fit better in my collection. Actually, it's a beautiful 45 with great tone and luster. Have acquired a few more 45's and will be posting images soon...keep the thread going! Dave
Incredible coins! MFH, your AU 58 04 o looks awesome! Brandon, that 01 s inthe OGH was a great pickup!!
Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.
This thread just doesn't want to die.......great news for the Barber dudes. It's a convenient place to post some fantastic looking Barbers. I knew the Barber series were popular, and gaining steam too, but I never dreamed that a 600 (soon to be) post Barber thread was possible. It's great to see alot of new Barber collectors posting to this thread.
Mike P., what more can you say about that beauty. IMHO, Larry Whitlow's imaging is second to none.
Mike Hayes.....how is it possible that some of your nicest AU-58's just happen to be key or semi-key date Barber halves. I love your 04-O and your 05-O (not posted) and many of the other great AU-58's in your set.
Nice to see the ex 1908-O again. Here is my 1909 Half, has a bit of color on the obverse and a bit less on the reverse, photo courtesy of P8nt who turned 18 yesterday. Happy Birthday again Ben.
Dale thanks for sharing your stunning 1892. I constantly use the photos you and Dr. Pete have on your registrys' for reference. It's a great resource that I appreciate very much.
Thanks everyone for sharing and keeping the thread going.

Here is the quarter for my type set, the holder has a couple of issues, but here goes:
I'm 100% with Bluelobster on your 1901. Geez, what a stunning example. How long have you owned that?
In fact, 4 or 5 of the last few images on this thread are wild! This thread just keeps getting better.

It has a similar grade to your 1901........ 66*, so probably AU at PCGS
as I'm still on the 1902 date...thought I'd share something just listed on Ebay...
I'm not bidding on this and I have no personal interest in this coin...
just thought someone would like to at least view it on Ebay and if they like it
[ I sure do...] ... they can make a stab at it.

1900 Proof 25C is PCGS PR66CAM
1892 MS 50C is PCGS MS63
Both are at the high end of the grade with very nice eye appeal.
