KK - Glad you were able to post your 1913-S Quarter. I never had a chance to get the images resized since I had an issue with the double-image being in "my pictures" it went into a file instead and was disappointed I couldn't post it for you before.
The 13-S you bought looks very lusterous and well struck. I already know the grade, so, I'll remain silent on that score.
Who amoungst us is planning on going to the FUN convention this January ? I for one will be. The primary reason will be to view Dale Friend's halves - and I hope to secure one of them during the auction.
I'll only be at the convention a day or two and would love to meet as many fellow Barberites as possible.
Sooner or later this will get out as the auction is in three weeks. Heritage has a very large collection of quarters coming up in December.
I have my sights set of four AU 58's to upgrade a couple of 53's and 55's in my collection.
A major - and I mean major offering is the only 1909-O in PCGS 58 !!!!!
Although I would have loved to have owned this coin in my preferred grade of AU 58 ...I'm afraid I just can't justify paying a substantial premium that this coin will sell for. I'm truly satisfied with the MS 64 that I bought a couple of years ago from Coinlieutenant This AU 58 is a major offering - and although another NGC AU 58 was offered last year - which sold for close to $3K - the PCGS coin is far superior, IMHO.
Feel free to PM me to discuss the coins I'm after and which ones you're interested in. Two more AU 58's that I'm tracking are the 1902-O [ I finally located a 58 last year ] and a 1911-S [ and I have Dale Friend's MS 64 which I won't part with.]
Mike thanks for the nice comments and heads up alert on the upcoming auction on AU58 Barber qtrs. Good luck on your bids and I hope you'll win em all.
As for me, I'm awaiting for the next 96-S qtr in AU or better to come up either in an auction or a direct sale. If anyone knows of one that is available either post it here or PM me.
KK
===============================================
"KK - I'm still shaking my head over that 04-S you picked up. No, I'm not, I actually am kicking myself in the Butt for not seeing it first !!"
Mike - think of it this way; by not buying the 58 04-S will free up the cash flow so that you'll be in a position to bid strongly on the upcoming AU58 Qtr auction ie a win, win, win situation.

Not sure what it will really go for, but that AU58 1909-O is nice!!! I agree that it will go for strong money. Price guides aren't even in the ballpark on this one. Too bad I just bought one of these or I'd be all over this one
The coin looks like an AU 50 - and I don't think its overgraded if you bought it as a 50. The stars at the right are all flat - there are alot nicer examples of the 1916 available.
See my PM regarding the group of duplicate quarters I just sold. My 1916 is a far superior strike - and it should be on their web site in a few days. Then again - you could call and reserve the coin.
Wow, I can't believe MFH is passing on THE PCGS 1909-o AU58 quarter. I can remember back in the day, THAT COIN was in your Sigline wantlist, for a long time...
Our collection goals do change over time, don't they?
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.

Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Here are my latest additions to the harem. The first one--------01-S in VF35 came from JJT. I have to thank MFH for passing on it and letting me have second dibs on it.
The following seven are all raw purchases over the past few months and I used my eight free submissions on them. If you're wondering what the eighth one was, it was a 11-S Lincoln Cent which came back XF45. I'd show it, but I'm not allowed to post it here
Enjoy!!! comments are welcome.
1901-S VF35
1901 VF30
1902-O VF25 Better than average reverse strike for an O mint, I think
Awesome group of Barbers Tom...how about letting us in on your photo secrets? Nice photos...mine always turn out too dark...can't seem to get the lighting right.
Won a three coin lot at Stacks - all Quarters - all sight unseen - all NGC 58's:
1900-S Hub 2; 1911-P ; 1914-D ... LOL - I was only after the 1914-D... - as soon as I receive them - I'll send them in for cross over - and request TrueView imaging which I'll post here as an edit.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
That 01-O is beautiful, I love the original mint luster that radiates from the coin's surfaces (the coin appears to be glowing). The gold toning is very attractive too.
<< <i>KollectorKing...don't want your coin to go unnoticed...that's an awesome 93-O! Great tone and excellent strike...congrats on the purchase! >>
KK - Very nice coin - sooner or later I know you'll surprise us all and open up your sets on the PCGS Registry. I for one am looking forward to seeing your collection. Get the couple of NGC's to cross over - ie: 1913-S Quarter - and I think you'll have an upper ranked collection.
The Complete Set section of the Registry has a Barber section - which I'm still chipping away at. Still can't figure why I completed that raw set of Dimes...all the registered dimes are my duplicates ...
BTW: I started a Thread for Don Soles...about posting early commems or Barber halves...

WOW, 12 days left of Internet bidding and it's already over $2500 with the juice!!!!! Can it go much higher than that???? The PCGS Guide price for an MS63 is $2000 (AU58 is only $850)... we should see some major green up arrows on the Guide here if PCGS is paying attention!!!!
Hey Mike, good lookin' 04-S...good luck on the dimes...you've got great taste!

I'm glad for the seller, Gary B., at the prices realized on his AU 58 quarters.
I knew the 09-O would bring MS 63 money - but I too am a bit surprised at the MS 64 price it realized.
I only bid on one coin - an 1898-S quarter - in PCGS 58 [ I'd like to upgrade my AU 53 ] and that coin realized $1495 !! My initial max bid of $875 was out bid by the time the Internet Bidding had closed - so, I watched the auction live and was able to rebid on the 98-S. I upped my bid to - almost ashamed to admit this - $1200 and I was immediately out bid again. It sold for $1300 plus the 15% = $1495.
Anyone pick up anything from this Heritage sale ?
Inquiring minds want to know who picked up the 1896-O Half in MS 64. It was a beauty !

The 09-O, but maybe even moreso the 98-S surprised me at those prices.
I saw the 09-O at maybe 2500., and the 98-S at no more than 850. to 900.
Also the 12-S at 690. seemed pretty steep.
Shows you what I know
The 96-O languished a bit, but the picture didn't make it seem premium, so maybe that was all.
Otherwise the 14 coins I tracked seemed to do well and about what I would expect based on the pictures.
Granted I did not see any of the coins in hand.
Interesting to see if these higher prices willl stick, if another coin or coins of the same caliber surface in the next year.
