You sure have been busy and it looks like getting some nice crossovers. Congratulations on your success. I have found some of the old Anacs graded coins doing pretty well too. I have a few new ones I have picked up along the way but way behind in taking pics so one weekend soon I will set aside a couple of hours and try and catch up.
Just some awesome Barbers in all denominations fellow Barber Maniacs. I love checking this thread and seeing what everyone is up too.
Take care all and I will post some of my recent ones over the past few months soon hopefully.
Congrats Mike. Gives me hope that the XF40 1905-P I recently purchased will come back as XF45.
Those Barber Halves just don't wear down very quickly. I jingle the darn thing as often as I can. I hope it has knocked down enough detail by the end of this month.

PonyExpress8, Did you know you have to pay a quarter to Barberman55 everytime you glance? >>
Broadstruck,
A quarter to Barberman55 every time you glance......I like that idea, every little bit helps.
Mike,
Good job on the submissions. To get an upgrade on a crossover, do you need to specify "cross at any grade"? I was hoping for an upgrade on this 1912-S Liberty Head nickel, which was graded F-12, by ANACS. Looks to be at least F-15, maybe better, but came back F-12 from PCGS. Maybe because I didn't specify "cross at any grade".
Dan - No, I didn't need to write " Cross at any Grade" - I just wanted to be emphatic that I wanted it holdered at PCGS. I didn't want them to think that they wouldn't cross anything because it wasn't up to their standards for the assigned grade in the other TPG's holder.
Here's something I found on eBay this morning - an addition to my William Barber Trade Dollar collection.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
MFH-----nice crossovers and damn you! Until now I had the only 2 VF25 04-S's. You have ruined my monopoly sir!
Just kidding-----congrats on all of them
Barberman55------ where do I send my 01-S quarter as payment for glancing at the thread and that 12-S V nickel is sweet. Tough coin.
I'll be posting my Isabella quarter as soon as I get it back from PCGS. It graded AU58. I think I'm going to sell it. If anyone has any VF30 halves, I'd consider a trade. PM me please.
Broadstruck----anything special about a rotated reverse die? I got a 12-D that is about 20 degrees counterclockwise from center

One coin DNC - The 1906-O Half in ANACS 50. Looks like the Dansco is getting an addition. I have an XF 40 raw in the Dansco now - looks like I'll submit that one.
<< <i>Got one submission's grades back this evening: 02/07/08. See Submission # 3572779. All Barber Half Dollars.
I'm not surprised at the results at all. The 1892-O EX: NGC 40 is now PCGS XF 35 - still think its a 40. The 1896-S EX: NGC XF 45 is now a PCGS 40 - again, I think its a 45 any day of the week. The 1904-S EX: ANACS 20 was clearly undergraded and it came back in the correct grade : PCGS VF 25.

OTT lights are supposed to simulate natural sunlight and have a blue-green tint to them as compared to traditional lightbulbs. I like them much better for high grade very lusturious coins. For lower grade coins with crust on them, i like the reveal GE lightbulbs better.
Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!
Beautiful quarters gentlemen. If that 01-S wasn't so stupid expensive in XF45, I'd put that set together.
Pocket piece 1905-P is coming along. I try to jingle the darn thing as often as I can. I sure do get a lot of funny looks. I think it will be ready by the time I go to Baltimore later this month.
<< <i>Beautiful quarters gentlemen. If that 01-S wasn't so stupid expensive in XF45, I'd put that set together. >>
Craig, you could totally afford it if you sold off the Half set the minute it's completed......you'll always have the Tru Views and the memories. But, yeah, one would have to think that 30K is a bit rich for a pop 4/38 coin.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
Here's a recent acquisition that's currently in transit. It's a little tougher date (at least for me) of the common date Barber halves. The 1906-D is graded by PCGS, AU-55. I'll have a better idea of what she looks like when I have the coin in hand.
Anyone else notice how high some of the key barber quarters and halves went in the recent Heritage Long Beach Auction of the Southwest collection?
The three key quarters together brought about $200K alone. The 96-O half in PCGS MS 65 with the little extra unmentionable sticker brought $37.7 K with juice, way abover current list prices anywhere, but not surprising to me for the date in the series with the fewest coins in mint state. Yes, less than the 04-S which at the same grade level likely would have sold for more. The 04-s half in the set was NGC 63 and went for over $20K, again way above the greysheet and most all price listings.
Do these high auction results mean that barbers are taking off? I don't think so. The prices seemed fairly strong and true to market prices in general even for the common dates in MS 63 and MS 64. The keys sold for a lot which is what has been going on in the coin market in other areas, as well.
Dr. Pete, thanks for the auction report. I've only seen one MS 1896-o Half in my small travels, a raw 62 for 3800 at Santa Clara. I doubt I'll see many more any time soon. I feel lucky to have my PCGS AU 50. Tombr, Nice 12-s, great look. Bushmaster, nice pair of 96's, and get a load of that 10 grade point difference obv to rev on the New Orleans! Oh the "O" strike.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
The recent sale of all three Barber sets at Heritage left me disappointed that the one coin I'm waiting for - the 01-S quarter - was in such a high grade; I would have gone after a MS 62 - 64 as there are no AU 53 - 58's available.
All key dates were strong - and the 1896-O Half in 65 with the unmentionable attachment, wasn't just a rare coin in 65, it was a B E A U T I F U L rare coin in 65. It deserved the high bid it received.
I was also very taken with the 1896-S Quarter as well...it had alot of eye appeal. Plus a few others...nothing too notable however. Remember, Dale recently sold off his quarter collection, and I judge all quarters against his collection - now, Sunnywood's. It goes without saying that Sunnywood's quarter collection has got to be one of the most beautiful collections ever assembled.
Tom, Greg and Todd...nice pick ups !!
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Finally got around to imaging this 1910-P, an ebay pick up last month, that just gave my Registry date set a nice bump. Another one I couldn't find in XF so I had to pull in a more available AU 55.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
Received the final eight grades back on Submission # 3572458. The grades are considerably more disappointing than the previous submissions. Three coins did not cross. The 1897-P in PCI AU 53 was termed "Artifical Color", as was the 1904-O in ANACS AU 50. "
However, the 1895-P in AU 58 crossed to PCGS 58; an 1898-P in 55 crossed as a PCGS 55; an 1898-S in 58 crossed to a PCGS 55 [ not one bit surprised at this ]; 1906-D in MS 61 is now in a PCGS AU 58 holder [ I knew there was rub on the cheek, and I was praying for a 58 ]; and lastly, my 1911-P in AU 58 also crossed as a PCGS 58.
Update: 02/18/08:
Received twenty grades back on Submission # 3572780 & Received ten grades back on Submission # 3572774.
The grades speak for themselves; of course I'm a little disappointed in the three coins that DNC, 1911-S Quarter in NGC 55 as cleaned; 1911-S Half Dollar in ANACS 50 as cleaned ; and 1899-O Half in NGC 45 as Altered Surfaces; and the five coins that dropped in grades; but I'm pleased that three coins received upgrades [ all previous PCGS coins, BTW ] and nineteen coins that retained their original grades.

Not very often. They usually drop the grades an increment like they did
on the 1892-O & 1896-S
The above coin is now in a PCGS 35 Holder
Here are the two coins that crossed grade for grade:

Mike,
Good job on the submissions. To get an upgrade on a crossover, do you need to specify "cross at any grade"? I was hoping for an upgrade on this 1912-S Liberty Head nickel, which was graded F-12, by ANACS. Looks to be at least F-15, maybe better, but came back F-12 from PCGS. Maybe because I didn't specify "cross at any grade".

<< <i>Well I finally got some OTT lights and so I retook some photos of my old friend. Let me know which photos you like better.
speety, Think I'd like your old friend even with No Lights on!
Ummm...i forget, where you in with the crowd that thought barbers designs were of a guy????
I agree with you guys, the reveal bulbs flooded the coin and dulled out the colors a little too much. I'm liking the OTT lights.
O and barberman, i would post in seated threads but someone keeps buying all my AU Seated dollars, why can't you stay with the barber coinage????
speety, guess I left myself wide open for some gutter work?
Heres the 12-D rotated die I think
I need to work on my photography. It looks to yellow. What's the deal with these OTT lights you guys have been talking about?
Speety...Thx for the advice on the lighting.
Tombr...We'll see what PCGS thinks of this Half Dime. Interesting die rotation half. Thx for sharing.
Broadstruck...very nice dimes...you amaze me with what you've squirreled away.
Here's a little something I picked up this evening...the reverse image is too large to post...sorry

Pocket piece 1905-P is coming along. I try to jingle the darn thing as often as I can. I sure do get a lot of funny looks. I think it will be ready by the time I go to Baltimore later this month.
Mike, spreadsheet coming shortly.
Looking for Denmark 1874 20-Kroner. Please offer.

<< <i>Beautiful quarters gentlemen. If that 01-S wasn't so stupid expensive in XF45, I'd put that set together. >>
Craig, you could totally afford it if you sold off the Half set the minute it's completed......you'll always have the Tru Views and the memories.
But, yeah, one would have to think that 30K is a bit rich for a pop 4/38 coin.
I just worked out an agreement with another Forum Member for this
absolutely beautiful 1908-P Half Dollar.
I should have it in a week or so.
I've had trouble in the past locating this date - and was very pleasantly surprised to be offered this beauty.
Thank You Walkerguy21D -

Thanks.
Yeah, I'd say about a 45 too. My photography sucks and my 7 MP camera shows every little flaw, but it's a very pleasing circ., in hand.

The three key quarters together brought about $200K alone. The 96-O half in PCGS MS 65 with the little extra unmentionable sticker brought $37.7 K with juice, way abover current list prices anywhere, but not surprising to me for the date in the series with the fewest coins in mint state. Yes, less than the 04-S which at the same grade level likely would have sold for more. The 04-s half in the set was NGC 63 and went for over $20K, again way above the greysheet and most all price listings.
Do these high auction results mean that barbers are taking off? I don't think so. The prices seemed fairly strong and true to market prices in general even for the common dates in MS 63 and MS 64. The keys sold for a lot which is what has been going on in the coin market in other areas, as well.

bushmaster8----like the quarters, especially the "O"
Tombr, Nice 12-s, great look.
Bushmaster, nice pair of 96's, and get a load of that 10 grade point difference obv to rev on the New Orleans! Oh the "O" strike.
The picture is a little off for color, but it gives you an idea

The recent sale of all three Barber sets at Heritage left me
disappointed that the one coin I'm waiting for - the 01-S quarter -
was in such a high grade; I would have gone after a MS 62 - 64
as there are no AU 53 - 58's available.
All key dates were strong - and the 1896-O Half in 65 with
the unmentionable attachment, wasn't just a rare coin in 65,
it was a B E A U T I F U L rare coin in 65. It deserved the
high bid it received.
I was also very taken with the 1896-S Quarter as well...it had alot
of eye appeal. Plus a few others...nothing too notable however.
Remember, Dale recently sold off his quarter collection, and I judge
all quarters against his collection - now, Sunnywood's. It goes without
saying that Sunnywood's quarter collection has got to be one of the
most beautiful collections ever assembled.
Tom, Greg and Todd...nice pick ups !!

Received the final eight grades back on Submission # 3572458.
The grades are considerably more disappointing than the previous
submissions. Three coins did not cross. The 1897-P in PCI AU 53 was termed "Artifical Color",
as was the 1904-O in ANACS AU 50. "
However, the 1895-P in AU 58 crossed to PCGS 58; an 1898-P in 55 crossed as a PCGS 55;
an 1898-S in 58 crossed to a PCGS 55 [ not one bit surprised at this ]; 1906-D in MS 61 is
now in a PCGS AU 58 holder [ I knew there was rub on the cheek, and I was praying for a 58 ];
and lastly, my 1911-P in AU 58 also crossed as a PCGS 58.
Update: 02/18/08:
Received twenty grades back on Submission # 3572780 &
Received ten grades back on Submission # 3572774.
The grades speak for themselves; of course I'm a little disappointed in the three coins that DNC, 1911-S Quarter in NGC 55 as cleaned; 1911-S Half Dollar in ANACS 50 as cleaned ; and 1899-O Half in NGC 45 as Altered Surfaces; and the five coins that dropped in grades; but I'm pleased that three coins received upgrades [ all previous PCGS coins, BTW ] and nineteen coins that retained their original grades.
<< <i>Update: 02/09/08: Received twelve grades back tonight. See Submission # 3572781.
Edited: 02/18/08 : Received thrity grades this evening: See Submissions # 3572774 & 3572780.
One coin DNC - The 1906-O Half in ANACS 50. Looks like the Dansco is getting an addition. I have an XF 40 raw in the Dansco now - looks like I'll submit that one.
<< <i>Got one submission's grades back this evening: 02/07/08.
See Submission # 3572779. All Barber Half Dollars.
I'm not surprised at the results at all. The 1892-O EX: NGC 40 is now PCGS XF 35 - still think its a 40.
The 1896-S EX: NGC XF 45 is now a PCGS 40 - again, I think its a 45 any day of the week.
The 1904-S EX: ANACS 20 was clearly undergraded and it came back in the correct grade : PCGS VF 25.

I mentioned that I had a very large submission for Cross Over
at PCGS - and I requested they cross "At Any Grade".

Anyone care to guess the grade ? >>

Tombr: You jinxed me !!!
This was in an NGC MS 62 holder.
It just came back as a PCGS AU 58. There is NO rub on this coin.
I thought it had a shot at MS 63 +. >>
