Thanks----still getting the hang of it. Here's another 04-S NGC VG10. I think is should be F12--anyone think it's worth sending in to PCGS for a cross over?
Here's a pretty 1892-O quarter in PCGS 58 I bought raw. I was fortunate to find her at the same time I discovered Mike's 08-D. I think the grade is accurate on this one, although I was hoping the half would go MS but she didn't.
The quarter is a nice original unmessed with Type 2. My original plan was to keep it but to pay for my half habit she is for sale on the bay now.
I still like discovering a nice quarter or dime though.
Thanks for all the images and sharing everyone. I love this thread.
This one came from ebay recently, finally got a few spare moments to snap a photo:
Took the 4 kids out today to the Williamsburg Coin Show-- dealers from NC and Richmond (new to us) were super nice and the regulars from Tidewater all seemed to be in good spirits for the crowded conditions. I saw more 'original' circ. silver coins today than in a long time and picked up a VF Barber half! The last coin, under another coin, which I almost just said forget it, at the last table we looked at before leaving. Even though I had the date already, it seemed a tad better than my current one and the price was right. (The children did OK too BTW, some early date Mercury dimes, MS Steel cents, and a '91 Seated quarter. Plus, my wife was happy to have a few hours of free time )
They aren't perfect, but will keep nonetheless.

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.
If I could put together a mint state set of Barber Halves that looked like that, I would be on cloud nine. Too bad those things are so darn spendy.
Nice find Mike. I wonder who owns it.
In some great news, I was just offered an 1893-O in XF45 from bfjohnson. Thanks a ton Brandon. He and I are conducting the swap as we speak. That puts me at needing only 4.
I really appreciate all the help I have received so far from people trading with me and looking for me. That is one thing I really like about this group of Barber collectors.
Sorry I didn't get to guess Greg, I would have said XF45 on the first 3 (as I still don't AU grading) and I was watching the 04o from Casey.
Looks like this thread inches toward 300. I have only had access to dialup recently, which is not conducive to threads like this

I just ran across the 08-O too, while doing a little web surfing. Sure is nice.....strong for the assigned grade, even if it's in a NGC holder.

Anybody here snag the JJTeaparty, PCGS, F-15, 1901-S Barber quarter? I never did see the image on Teaparty's website and I was curious as to what it looked like.

Dan - nice looking 08-O huh ? All it takes is "Do Re Me". The eye appeal brings it to a 66 - sort of surprised it wasn't in an NGC 65 Star holder though. As Craig mentioned, I too would be on Cloud 9 if my whole set looked that that.
I didn't buy the 01-S on JJ Teaparty's recent listing. I did check out their listings and that image wasn't posted when I looked over their offerings. I knew it'd sell immediately.
I'm out of the market now as far as 01-S Halves are concerned. I'm still waiting for the cross over grade for my NGC 63...plus I have an XF 40 in a PCGS holder.
There certainly are some really nice coins being posted on this thread. Hope to see the thread hit at least 500...don't know if it'll ever hit 1000 though.
Did anyone receive the February issue of the Numismatist ? There's an article by David W. Lange which I found very interesting. Its entitled: " Barber Coins: A Lifelong Addiction".

OMG !!! You found that 11-D raw on Ebay ? !!!
Here's my 11-D - EX: Dale Friend.
Please excuse the crummy image:
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Hi Mike, I remember your '11-D. I had bought it at a coin show during my earlier (first) attempt at a Barber 25c set. I sold it to David Lawrence Rare Coins in early October 2003, and I believe Dale bought it from them. Finding an original '11-D on the market is no easy task !! I took a flyer buying that toned piece raw off Ebay. I didn't know if it would really be Unc., or whether the surfaces had been cleaned & retoned, or whether it was AT. I figured the worst that could happen was that I would throw out the money (although the fellow did have a return privilege). But as soon as I saw the coin, I knew it was a true original album-toned uncirculated example. I graded it high 64, shot 65, and it is well struck for an '11-D, another typically mushy Denver mint issue. Still, I worried that PCGS might bag it as AT, even though I was sure it was naturally toned. But if I sent it to PCGS, the return privilege would lapse. Well, I decided to chance it. I was happy when it came back PCGS MS64 on the first try. I have not tried it again.
Supposedly, according to the small-town coin dealer who sold it to me, a little old lady he knows used to come into his shop once a month, to sell some of her late husbad's coins so that she could pay her bills. Her husband had died some years earlier. He had collected coins avidly during the 1940's and 1950's, and into the early 1960's. He had Dansco and Wayte Raymond albums (boards) that he filled up. According to the dealer, his pride & joy was a complete set of unc. Barber quarters. He also had SLQ's, Buffalo nickels, and other series. The widow brought the whole album in, and the dealer said he was floored. She told him he could pick one to buy, and he picked the '11-D, which had the prettiest toning of any of them. He claims the '01-S was a prooflike MS63.
Anyway, this was the supposed story behind the '11-D. Who knows if there is any truth to it !!! I repeatedly e-mailed the dealer afterwards, asking if any of her other quarters might be available. He never replied back. I offered to fly down to see the set personally, and offered to buy the entire set if it was indeed Unc. However, there was no further answer. So that made me think the whole story was questionable. But in any case, this coin is the real deal, and I am happy to have it !!!
In all seriousness, Sunnywood, your collection of Barber quarters is simply outstanding. I'm so pleased that you had the coins imaged...now...lets get on Dale's case and have his set imaged [ his halves were done a couple of years ago by Superior Galleries, I believe.]
My lowly AU set can't begin to compare to your's. I guess concentrating on one set is really the way to go; you're not distracted by other series. My collecting goal was for AU coins and that has been acheived, sans the 01-S quarter.
Interesting story of your 11-D...and mine for that matter - its always nice to know a coin's pedigree.
Have not received my cross over grades from PCGS as yet for my Barbers; I'll post the results here once they're available.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I bought this at a coin show today and was wondering what everyone thinks it would grade. I'm just learning how to post pictures on the forum so please excuse me. They seller is a seller I know and will give money back is coin is bodybagged. I compared it to 64 and 65 PCGS certified coins they had and it looked better than the 64.
That's a nice looking 02-P. Without the coin in hand I can't say without any real certainty that its an AU 58 or MS 64.
Its definetly worth sending in to PCGS and get it holdered. Did the seller gaurantee that it would holder as a MS coin ? Coin looks very original and am sure it won't BB. Good luck with it.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
That is my problem also. I have the coin in hand and still have trouble telling the difference between an AU58 and MS64. The dealer did not guarentee an MS coin but genuinely thinks it is one. She would do anything to keep her customers happy if I felt like sending it back. That being said if it comes back an AU58 I'd keep it and chalk it up to a learning experience. Sometimes it's fun taking that risk with a raw coin. I'll send it in this week and see what happens. Thanks.

Brandon, If that 02-P comes back as an AU 58, I'd be very interested in it, as I'd like to upgrade my AU 55. Thanks, Mike
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Thanks guys !!! By the way, in many series, a nice AU58 is often just as nice as an MS62 or MS63, maybe even some MS64. Fletcher, nice AU58's posted above. It is the ideal collector grade ... and not easy to find. Good AU58's are always in demand.
Believe it or not, I still love circulated Barbers too. I still have the ones from my type set when I was a kid ... the quarter is a 1907-O, high VF to low XF. I think the Barber quarters and halves are particularly attractive as circulated coins, moreso than many other designs. Keep the images coming !!!
Man, you guys have posted some wonderful images of original Barbers. Talk about eye-candy!
Sunny - The fact that you picked up that 11-D raw on eBay absolutely blows my mind. UNREAL. That is one fantastic coin. The 11-D is a very underrated date in VF and above. Amazing!

I wish I could post something new here, but it's been slim pickings lately. Dave at Alpine, had a nice AU-50, PCGS, 1909-O Barber half on his website. That coin was sold in a heartbeat. I'm not having much luck at the monthly, Parsippany, NJ coin show either. I haven't picked up anything new at the show in over 3 months. In the mean time, I'll have to be happy looking at all the great coins on this thread. The push for 300 posts seems inevitable......what about 400?
Nice coin, Stan, that Whitman folder toning on the reverese of your '14 adds some nostalgia to its originality!
Dan, it wasn't me who bought the 09o, promise!
Looks like Tyler has dredged up some coins for ebay this week, in case you folks didn't see them already LOL LOL!

Rob,
I stop at all the tables, and haven't seen anything new the last couple of months. I'm not quite sure who Jim P is, but I'm sure I stopped at his table too. If your 95-S was a Barber half and graded between VF and AU.......I may be slipping, I need that date.

I also saw that 09-O at Alpine's web site. Nice looking coin. I thought about it, but decided to wait for an XF40/45 to come along. I see that Irv has a PCGS VF35 on Ebay now and that's garnering alot of interest.
For those who have been following my quest of the more than elusive 1898-O Micro O, I have yet to hear any results on my EX: Reiver - NGC 30. Harry tells me that the longer it takes them, the better off I am.

I just received my 93-O XF45 from Brandon in the mail yeterday. Thank you sir. Beautiful coin with a great wear pattern. Coin has a very weak strike in the tail/lower right leg area. The bottom of the arrows is almost flush with the field. The forehead hair is also very weak. Very neat and I like it. Brandon, are you able to upload that picture your brother sent to me? I only know how to do Tru-View images.
Only 4 more to go.

<< <i>Any bets on when this collection will be complete?

My guess would be one of the key dates, 97-O or the 97-S. I don't recall seeing either date available in XF (definitely not in a PCGS holder), since I've been collecting Barber halves.
Fletcher,
It looks like you caught the Barber Bug!
Mike,
I still can't believe how nice that AU-58, 08-D Barber half is. I don't think it's possible to find a nicer looking AU-58 Barber half.

I am glad it arrived safe and sound and that you are pleased with the 08-D.
Best of luck on the 98-O review as well. Exciting stuff.
