Post some new Barber images - the Mega Barber Thread

MFH

<< <i>Well, I have to admit that every so often, I get carried away......

I just picked these two coins up...one on Ebay - raw XF 40+ - and the other from the Superior auction last night, in an ANACS 50 holder...

Here's the kicker...they're both the same date & mint mark ......

Image: ( Raw Coin )


The ANACS 50 coin:

Received the 1906-O ANACS AU 50 coin today. The image is horrible !!! This coin screams under the edge toning. The fields are proof like...and the coin could have been a 53 just as easily as the AU 50 assignment given. I'm thrilled with it. Its a given this will be in the Dansco album very soon.

The other coin - the raw XF 40 - is already in the old Whitman Bookshelf Album. Looks real nice too !!

The ANACS AU 50 coin came back from PCGS - 02/08 - as a DNC due to Altered Surfaces.

Here's my latest type coin purchase:

1911 ANACS MS-63 Barber Half Dollar

MFH

<< <i>The newest addition and this now completes my mid range set...coin is raw and have not inspected it yet but I'm hoping its a keeper:

>>



Well, the coin finally arrived and its about what I thought it was: a VF 35. The fields are very original but the obverse central portrait was wiped lightly. It may - then again, may not - holder, but considering that the coin was destined for the Dansco anyway, I won't be submitting it.

Here's a Barber dime I just picked up today. It's probably cleaned, but I do like it:

Dr. Pete, That has gotta be the best looking micro O I've seen!

USCGCraig

There's not a spot in the Registry for the 1891 Dr. Pete. Did you buy that in China?

Seriously, sweet pattern and I love that micro "o". I have a feeling that is probably one coin I will never own in the condition I want.

MFH

Craig,

Peter took that image while he was at the Smithsonian. Its the real-deal.

Oh, yeah...lets see what I may not have posted on the boards...something interesting:



This coin was in an NGC MS 61 holder; I requested an AU 58 when I crossed it two years ago.

Here's another 1904-O, this one's in the Dansco album ( EX: ANACS 50 ):

USCGCraig

I knew that. In fact Coin World had a nice article about those pieces recently. 1 or 2 known of the 5 different types I believe and the Smithsonian has a few.

Would be pretty darn cool though.

I like that "AU58" 04-O.

Here's a brand new auction win from tonight that I am very pleased to share with my fellow forum members:

1899 PCGS MS-63 Barber Quarter

Sunnywood

I have usually posted beautifully toned coins in my posts ... but here are a few sparkling white (or near white) standouts from my Barber quarter set:

1902 PCGS MS67, 1914-S PCGS MS66 (NGC MS67), 1915-S PCGS MS67







Enjoy !!

Best,
Sunnywood

Beautiful quarters Sunnywood.

PCGS MS62 old green holder, an MS65 coin downgraded for its weak strike.

PCGS AU-58

Here's one of my favorites; PCGS AU53, and one of the few TrueView photos I've seen that does not do justice to the coin; the colors are much nicer in hand.

Let's keep this going. Another one from my set.

Wow, you Barber guys seem just about as passionate as the Lincoln and Mercury guys!
Some incredible coins in this thread!
Unfortunately, I only have one Barber Dime, so guess I'll put it in here.
PCGS AU-58

Sunnywood

That is a beautiful 1895-S dime !!!!!! And a great example of why the right AU58 is the best buy in the world.

Best,
Sunnywood

USCGCraig

I have similiar coloring on a 1921 Missouri 2x4 that PCGS wouldn't cross from ANACS (was in a first gen ANACS holder) and subsequently broken out and submitted raw. Three times it has come back as questionable color. Frustrating.

Love that dime though.

morgansforever

This is one ugly POS, just playing around and think it's a very accurate pic, despite being so fugly.

Sure are some sweet dimes within this thread. For some reason I like my Barber stuff white. All I need is a nice MS dime and I'll have a MS/PR set of the series. Which for me is not a common feat. The only other set I have is an Ike date set in unc MS. Anywho, heres a PR Cam half I was lucky enough the get off Rob a while back.

Very pretty coin. Nice Cameo, too.

Also, one of my favorite dates.

Barberman55

Rob,

Beautiful type coin, exactly what I'm looking for to add to my key/semi key date type set. Currently I'm working on completing sets of Barber quarters and halves, so the thought of working on a Barber dime set is out of the question.

PonyExpress8

Good morning all,

Here is a 1894-S not included in my set as it's not in a PCGS holder. Nice pewter grey toning.





I love the dime dime Rob. I have an AU50 quarter with similar toning I don't have photographed yet. A bit outside my set but I had to get it for the awesome color.

Nice coins guys and Dr. Pete thanks for sharing the 1891 pattern photo.

Here is a nice 13-S in XF45. Mintage 604,000 with a Pop of just 2. Probably closer to AU50 then XF45 these days.

How long until we get this thread up to 100?

InYHWHWeTrust

Original surfaces, Choice VF, Courtesy MFH, via JJT. Thanks again Mike! Destined for the Registry set once I get enough more like it to send in...

Don

USCGCraig

Here's a Pop 7 1899-S from my set. Probably closer to AU in today's market.

USCGCraig

Nice 11-S Don. I'm finding that the 11-S is a tough one to find.

MFH

<< <i>Nice 11-S Don. I'm finding that the 11-S is a tough one to find. >>


Craig, I hope your contact comes thru for you on getting that 11-S in XF 45.

"Five will get you ten" he'll auction it off on Ebay after the Holidays.
We're rooting for you.


The 11-S that I sold Don is a very nice coin, however, one that I did not show him, [otherwise he'd want this one more...
]

I only have the reverse image to show for the moment - the obverse is just a tad too large to post; I'm hoping to have it resized in the near future, courtesy of Dave99B.



EDITED: The obverse image has been resized - courtesy of Dave99B [ he's a computer whiz ]:

InYHWHWeTrust

Thanks Craig and Mike (MFH, I am content the current 11-s, promise!)

Craig, I 'd pay EF45 dinero for that 99s all day long!! (was that one of your 'downgrades?')

Don

Barberman55

Come on guys........keep adding more Barber images to this thread - I want to reach 100 posts!

I really enjoy looking at all these beautiful coins......I'm in Barber heaven.

USCGCraig

Don,

I don't have the history on this coin with me here at work. I'll add another image when I get home today.

Mike, I've initiated contact so we shall see. I agree with you about the piece going on Ebay.

cartwheel

Here you go, Barberman: A nice, circulated example of a tougher date: 1914 PCGS VG08. Mintage: 124,000.
I bought this raw for $45 four years ago.

Cartwheel,

Nice original VG, 1914 half.........for $45.00, a real bargain.

USCGCraig

Here's a nice Pop 8 coin. This is one of the first Barber Halves I bought.

ARCO

Here is my newest Barber half. Actually, I bought two AU58's off of Irwin Reichel, but one is yet to come and the other has not been scanned.

Here's the 3rd or 4th Barber Half I ever bought. I know it is a Pop 12 coin but it is the nicest I've seen. To me, this a true XF45.

USCGCraig

Sweet 92-O Tyler. What are you grading that? Too bad yours and mine don't have small "O"s.

MFH

<< <i>Sweet 92-O Tyler. What are you grading that? Too bad yours and mine don't have small "O"s. >>



Excellent 92-O, Tyler. Its simply amazing getting a half dollar that looks like this - colorwise - with AU 58 detail.
You say you bought two from Irv Reichel ? [ whose set on the NGC Registry is coming along very nicely].

Here's my Micro O -

USCGCraig

You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit.

Barberman55

<< <i>You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit. >>




And hope you don't wear it down to XF-40........at which time you would take out your 45 (not XF-45), and blow your brains out.

MFH

<< <i>You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit. >>



How's about this one ? Its only 20 points short of your goal.





Anyone have an image of the Micro O in XF 45 ???
Just to keep Crag on his toes !!



Edit: Yes, I see the little red X - when I get home this evening, I'll correct this.

USCGCraig

Here's a nice circulated 1907-S with a Pop of 3. I might do a few more today in advance of the holidays.

No picture Mike. I know that no one has a PCGS XF45 Micro o as none have been made.

USCGCraig

Here's a Pop 7 1902.

USCGCraig

And to get us to 100 posts here's a 1901-P Pop 11.

InYHWHWeTrust

There you go Craig, now that's my kind of XF45 (the 1901)! Super nice crust and toning-- and looks like she's done a little soft time in the streets, tills, etc.

And Tyler, I certainly hope that incredible 92 o catch means that one your lowly VF-XF specimens will fall out of favor in your eyes sometime in the future

Don
