Sunnywood...the 1908-D quarter was imaged in its PCGS 58 holder...got it from Heritage last year.
OR... did you mean the 1908-O Half Dollar ? I can't remember where I saw that coin - just it was too nice not to keep the image of.
Dan...missed the 600th post...looks like you'll have to make up for it and psot more of your beautiful coins...
Tyler...where've you been ?
And while we're still on 1908:
Just sold this coin to HLRC this week...
And another from my Mid Range set:
And yet another - you can't get enough of a good thing...
And being the compulsive collector that I am...yet another: My mistake...this small imaged coin is the same as the larger image above...its in an NGC 45 holder.
Here's a nice 1908-P I bought off of Tyler last year:
Edited to add: Re: the next post: Todd, You're right, Sunnywood must have meant your 1908-O quarter.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Sunnywood, where you looking at my 08-O quarter by chance? If so it's an AU58 type of thing ... had for four or five years I think ... we'll see if I ever send it in ...
I REALLY like yours!!
“We are only their care-takers,” he posed, “if we take good care of them, then centuries from now they may still be here … ”
Actually, silly me, I meant the 1908-O Half ... and I admit I looked at it too quickly and assumed it was yet another quarter, but possibly the nicest one I had ever seen. Well, now I know why !!! But Todd, I like your AU58 as well !!
As far as 1909-O, my quarter has some cool purple and blue color, but TahoeDale's PCGS MS66 is nicer !!! Here's mine (actually in my opinion, this image, like many of the True View images, is a little off on the white balance ... the coin has less yellow/green in it, and more blue/purple than the following image indicates)
Mike - Great pics; keep this thread alive as long as possible. It seems to start fading away - then comes roaring back.
I'll see if I can get some pics up of my new 1895-S VF30. Frankly I'm sort of embarrassed after seeing some of the material on the thread as of late. Great pics guys.
Sunnywood! My Lord, man...your 09-O is freak'in UNREAL!

What do you do for a living? Rob banks, and get away with it ? I need to change careers...
Dave
Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
Thanks guys !! One thing that is cool about this thread is that we have pics of coins in all grades. When I was about 9 or 10, and just starting out with coins, I started a type set. One of the first coins I bought at the local coin shop was a 1906-O quarter in G/VG condition. (I couldn't afford to buy a Barber half in any grade !!!) I always liked that coin, and i still think Barber quarters and halves are among the best designed coins for circulation, because they retain bold and handsome design features even when quite worn. Thus also for collectors, they are great coins because they are attractive in all grades.
Here is my contribution for 1910, an MS67 that was also in the Hugon collection. The coin is not colorful, but it appears to be quite original, with some milky pewter gray toning, and what some would call "thick skin" ...
Thanks again Sunnywood for posting that beautiful 1910 quarter.

Here's my duplicate 1911-S quarter, not a bad little coin, but nowhere as nice as I would have liked it: Holdered by NGC as AU 55...picked this up from another Board Member.
Here's my 1911-P - Half Dollar - PCGS AU 55: Again not as nice as I'd like, but I have yet to locate a nice AU 58:
Sorry - no image of my 1911-D Half Dollar.

We seem to be getting close to the end of the date series.
I'm also running out of images to show as well; most of my better coins don't have images as I purchased them raw or sight unseen from the gals at JJ Teaparty...one of these days, I'll get this done, I guess it'll be a second hobby for me.

Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Wow you guys are too fast, I missed 1911 and 1912 !!! Well, here's a representative of 1913 that will make up for it ...
1913-S 25C MS67 PCGS # 5666 : Ex David Akers; Dr. Steven Duckor; Dale Friend; Sunnywood. The Duckor pedigree is still noted on the insert. While Dr. Duckor and his wife are known for their all-time finest collection of Barber halves, as well as glorious sets of Saint-Gaudens $20 and Indian $10 gold coinage, they did not collect Barber quarters as a series. This 1913-S quarter has the great distinction of having been the only Barber 25¢ ever to be part of their collection. Despite a slight tick on the portrait, and what appears to be a squiggly lint mark on the horizontal shield lines (likely mint made), the remarkably fresh and vibrant luster and otherwise undisturbed surfaces do seem to mandate the MS67 grade.
Here is a 1900-O that i just added to my type set. I was at a dealer friends shop right after he bought a BU barber half and upgraded this coin. I am not much of a barber coin collector but i do like to pick up coins like this if i get the chance ! I was just in the right place at the right time. I am sure this coin would not have lasted more than a few days in the shop. $200.00 All comments wellcome - good or bad. Thanks, Bob Nice original color-looks better in person-my photograpy skills are quite lacking-Sorry.
The 1900-O you bought at a friend's coin shop for $200 in what appears to be a strong XF is quite a buy (*) ; however you mentioned that your photography skills are lacking; the color balance is off and there's too much direct lighting on the coin. The consensus of opinions is that natural lighting is best. Retake the image and post it again.
I only say this because I'm reserving my opinion on the overall condition of the coin; (*) if the coin was cleaned, then I fear you paid top dollar for it.
I paid $445.00 in January for this PCGS AU 50 - 1900-O - from Craig Peterson on an Ebay Auction - I'm sure this image was posted previously...sorry:
Looking forward to the new image.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I crossed the following coin into a PCGS 55 holder. I ended up selling this coin to another Registry collector, Redshoulder. LD: You arn't posting, so I will.
Another 1914-P I picked up from another Registry collector, Irv The Barber. The gnashing of teeth in Smithfield promted me to part with it. UFunnieMan owns this. Sorry, but it looks like I messed up keeping this image...oh, well.
I ended up picking up this VF 30 -1914-P immediately after I sold the XF 45 imaged above:
Here's a nice 1914-S in my mid range set: Its an ANACS 25: Oops...I just realized I sold this one !!
This is what I ended up buying instead for the mid range set; its a PCGS VF 35: I picked this one up from John Marburger on an Ebay sale:
Glenn Holsonbake donated a nice VF20 1914-S to Airplanenut's Pancreatic Cancer Charity Auction, I was the lucky bidder. Regretably, the image is too large to post.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Dr. Pete, that's an awesome 1892-O! To all the other fellows out there...thanks for keeping this thread alive...it provides a good representation of all the various dates, grades, and toning...excellent reference for grading. I'll be posting some images soon...just keep this thing going!! Regards to all, Dave
OK, y'all might just like this '14-S quarter ... PCGS MS66, formerly NGC MS67 (and why not !!), and once described by Stack's as follows:
"This unblushing silver-white ultra-Gem is certainly the finest San Francisco Quarter of this historic date known today, fully lustrous and wonderfully free of marks of any description. One of 264,000 struck, a minuscule mintage compared to the larger productions that were so typical of the Barber series. This is the finer of two coins rated MS67 by NGC; no Quarter of this date has been certified higher than MS-67 by either NGC or PCGS, reinforcing this glittering coin's ranking in the world of highest-quality examples."
Hey Dave, Newbarberguy, mighty nice new XF 45's you've been adding to your Pelican Collection. The rest of you guys should check out these really solid 45's.
Gotta love your 1901-S !!
DrPete mentioned to me a few years ago that if you work with one dealer, he'll come thru for you. Looks like Arnie is treating you very well. !!
Just checking in on the monster Barber thread. I see alot of new posts were added since the last time I visited this thread. Great images everyone.....keep this baby going. In the near future, I'm hoping to add some images of my own.
Here's a new addition......finally! It's an AU-55, PCGS graded, 1908-O Barber half. I'm surprised it took me so long to find this date, being as common as it is. My scanned images suck.....but you get the idea. The coin is lighter in color than the images, mark free, and does show some luster around the peripheries.
I've been snooping here and there and I'd like your opinions [ everyone]
on the following coin. What would you grade it ? I'd think you'll be surprised
[NOT ] at the grade NGC gave this - otherwise lovely coin. Remember:
"Buy the coin, not the holder".
No cheating now - this coin is still available at a well known and highly thought of dealer. [ No names mentioned...LOL ...as if you can't read the dealer's name !! ]
Edited for spelling
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
MFH - Thanks for the advice on photo-ing. Here are some new pics of the same coin. The coin has not been cleaned and is a solid XF. I don't know much about setting the color balance yet. Bob
MFH, looks like an XF-40 to XF-45...hard to tell from the image...can't really make out the headband...appears wingtips are not quite separated--but again hard to tell from the pic. Thanks for the compliment on the collection...it's a lot harder putting together XF-45's than I imagined! I know Craig P worked a long time on his so I figure I've got another 4-5 years before I'm even at the 90% level! Lots of great pics on the thread. I just got some crossovers back from PCGS:
1892-O: former ANACS AU-50, x-over to PCGS as AU-50 1893-O: former ANACS XF-45, x-over to PCGS as XF-45 1900-P: former ANACS AU-50, x-over to PCGS as XF-45 1901-P: former ANACS AU-50, x-over to PCGS as AU-50 1907-S: former NGC XF-45, x-over to PCGS as XF-45
This was my first submission to PCGS...I suppose 3 out of 5 ain't bad (shooting for all XF-45s) but I was really hoping the 92-O would come back as an XF-45...still looking for a 92-O in XF-45 so if anyone out there has one and would like to negotiate, please let me know. I also submitted six raw Barbers to PCGS for grading (also my first)...as a newbie, I'm relying on my elementary grading skills and hope they at least get graded and not BB'd! Will let you know how that turns out.
You did extremely well on your cross overs. Knowing you were hoping for all XF 45's, the two that did come back as 50's must have had just a touch more detail for the 45 grade. Craig has had this problem in the past and I can image how frustrating this can be.
I noticed that the coins are listed on your set, but no images. We're all looking forward to them whenever you have a chance to image them - please post them here when you've gotten them done !!
Here's something for the Dansco album, that I just won on Ebay:
I really don't think it'll holder at PCGS, as the coin looks wiped, but I don't see any hairlines. This coin is being shipped to me this morning - due to the long holiday weekend. Who knows, I have my eight "free" submissions to use up, I very well may submit this and see if I can get a VF 35 or XF 40.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Good job on the crossovers......better results than most, from what I see. Those PCGS, XF-45's, are tough to come by.......very popular collector grade, good luck with them.

Who knows, I have my eight "free" submissions to use up, I very well may submit this and see if I can get a VF 35 or XF 40.

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !

Good job on the crossovers......better results than most, from what I see. Those PCGS, XF-45's, are tough to come by.......very popular collector grade, good luck with them.
