Thanks for all the "Kudo's" on the Dime set. As soon as the grades get posted - I'll list them.
Don't be too surprised if I get a few AT's - but the coins were purchased raw for the most part from Dave Lawrence in 1994 & 1995. A few came from JJ Teaparty & Bowers + Merena. Maybe when the graders see all the coins together - they will see the toning progression.
I'm shooting for a few 58's to upgrade my certified AU 55's. The undergraded coins will find new homes - and the 13-S is already spoken for [ Dimeman ]. {This is in no way a solicitation to buy - just a fact of life. }
Another collector sent me an attachment to a lot being auctioned late January at Heritage [ sorry you'll have to do some digging yourself - but worth it ] of a 1912-D Half in an NGC 30 holder. Its a strike over - on a 1902 Half. Its a fairly close alienment - and the stars look like a constellation - and the Obv profile is slightly doubled. The under date is very plainly seen.
I'll be tracking it but I wish I were able to examine it in person. What a fantastic find !! Of course it was a "man made- intentional employee error" but very cool, regardless.
This one used to belong to Mike. I bought it from Glenn H, and Mike said I should post it here. I am excited to have this beauty in my collection! It's one the of most beautiful AU58 Barber halves I have seen!

Great XF on that 1909. BFJohnson, lots of luster on that one nice pick up.
Someone earlier mentioned they thought this was one of the best series threads around here. I would have to agree it is a great one and we can thank Dan for getting it all started and of course Mike for his significant passion and ongoing contributions.
It's nice to be a small part of a passionate group of dedicated collectors not only here but on the Forum as a whole.
And for those of you who have recently posted newps, great coins in all grades.
Just to post a photo and not just text here is a Newp with a pedigree that will go up on the site shortly. The T. Price Collection was one of the nicest Barber Half collections from a few years ago. I believe Dr. Pete has a couple of coins from this collection, I know I had one in my set I was able to attribute back to the original auction catalogue of several years ago.
I keep hearing people on this forum saying barber coins are ugly & the series is going nowhere bs!
OK so maybe my opinion is a little biased but the popularity of this thread speaks for its self. Even at my age I still think Barbers are
The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

Super nice MS-64 Barber half, and a better date too. Love the imaging.

A 1915 Barber half in AU, nice pickup. Since I started collecting Barber halves, I've only seen a handful of AU, PCGS certified, 1913, 1914, or 1915 Barber halves.

Yes, I agree, the 11-S in 64 is a great coin. Nice pick up, Glenn, double check to see if its a RPM;
Brandon, I have never seen an AU 58 1915-P; that's one of the reasons I upgraded to MS 64.
I have a 1913-P in AU 58, but my 1914-P was an ANACS 58 and it crossed at PCGS as an AU 55 [ currently in the RedShoulder Collection.], I upgraded to a MS 64 when I couldn't locate a PCGS 58.

Well if that were true, Barbers wouldn't be commanding such premiums and outselling every other series. Glenn can attest to that! I think that's one of the fun challenges of them though! You see tons of worn out examples on Ebay and whatnot, but finding a PQ coin with lots of meat is a challenge! Usually the only time you can aquire them is when another collector is upgrading a piece in their set. I love all Barber coins.

Anyone else - aside from myself - tracking the error Barber Half in the Heritage Long Beach auction, that's a 1912-D struck over a 1902 ? Its an amazing coin - and probably a very intentional "error"
Its very well graded - IMHO - in an NGC F-15 holder.
I believe its currently in the $7,500 range of bidding at the moment.

I saw that 1912/1902 Error in the catalog, but not tracking it online. Seems pretty cool, but not really in my wheelhouse of collecting interests. Pretty weird error though, seems like a bored mint employee just having some fun. Just lined up too perfectly for it to be accidental.
Anyone see the new Barber Quarter w/ varieties set in the Set Registry?? Just seemed weird to me that they wouldn't require Type One and Type Two of the 1892 quarters as those seem like significant varieties to me.
I haven't bought a Barber dime for my set in quite some time, but this 1893/2 was something I could not pass up. It's PCGS AU58. It has probably been dipped, but it is sharply struck and mark-free, so I like it. I cannot find enough price data on this coin to figure out what its current fair market value is. There is one recently sold PCGS AU58 in the Heritage archives, which went for $1,495, but the PCGS price guide is only $700 in MS60. A PCGS MS63 sold for $2,300 back in May of last year, which is slightly above the price guide amt. of $2,150. Was the $1,495 APR an anomaly for a PQ coin, or is the PCGS price guide out of whack for this rare variety?
I think you could also say that with the Half Dollar also....I'm still looking for a nice upgrade for my Dansco.
As I mentioned earlier,I bought the '08-S on Ebay 5 years ago today! Bought it raw for a tidy sum of $107
When I see post of people saying that they would never buy coins on Ebay raw,sometimes I have to chuckle.
I certainly agree of the premise of buying raw on Ebay,but if you are confident with your grading skills...and a return policy,you could be missing out on some nice coins.
If your referring to the '08-S I would have to agree,the liberty is all there and the ribbon is at 75% or so,has a lot of meat still on it. I was looking for the grade of 30 but 25 will do...no plans on selling.
Here's another S mint with a bit of the CircCam look to it...a VF30 with about the same detail as the '08-S but with out the digs,has some luster remaining also.
Fifty one years ago, my Grandfather passed away. He left behind quite a few nice coins, one of which is an 1892-P Half - in my humble opinion is an AU 58.
I received an altered surfaces grade [ Genuine ] on this coin. Maybe I should have given the coin a quick dip.
Somewhat disappointed ...

To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!
Thanks, I didn't want to dip my Grandfather's coin either. I had it in a cellophane 2x2 holder for years and when I went to Eagle brand albums 15 years ago or so - I put the coin in a black plastic holder with a hard clear window. A year ago, noticing that the coin was still a little too creamy white, I decided to put the coin into a Dansco album. It just started to develop a little rim toning.
I'm transferring my Whitman album coins into the newer Dansco and wanted to give my Grandfather's coin a more permanent setting. Be it as it may - a Genuine holder - is alot better than the old days of a soft flip and a sticker.
I should have the coin back prior to my sending BluCCphotos a large group for imaging. Looking forward to getting these images back. I had no idea how many of my coins had no images - or - the images were "cartoonish" [ as Broadstruck calls them ] - all that will change [ at least for the Half Dollar collection ].
My Quarter collection is scheduled next for imaging - and by the time my Dime submission returns, I'll have both sets of Dimes imaged as well.
Have not received any new grades today - will report back once I get them.
Happy hunting !!
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike - I'm looking forward to the pics of the '92 half as well, and agree with everyone else - don't dip it. Also, that 02P is incredible......Broadstruck's pics make that coin like a 64 all day long (he does have that knack, doesn't he ).
Last month while at FUN, I picked up an 1894 Proof Dime [ PCGS PR 64 CAM ] and an 1894 Proof Quarter [ PCGS PR 64 ]...tonight, I was fortunate enough to add this to the new set...
PS: The Dime and the Quarter are being sent to BluCCphotos [ Todd ] for imaging. When I get the Half Dollar, I'll send it along to Todd as well to image. I'll post the new images once they [ 3 coins ] are imaged.

I feel it may have sold for $3500 max as it is heavily circulated.

I have been watching this thread since the beginning.Some truly amazing coins to be seen,and rare ones for the condition,and grade.
I have been a Barber collector for over 10 years now,(Halves and quarters)so I decided to join photobucket and join this spectacular thread.
Heres one I got raw on Ebay (Feb. 2006) and had here slabbed as a PCGS XF40...thats what I had it graded in my notes.
I'll add more later.
Rob
It is an 1911-D VF-30....if you tilt it at a certain angle is has a bit of the circulated cameo to it.
The next coin is a tough coin in the middle grades
1913-P in a VF 30
I like the meat on it but I'm not to overwhelmed with the toning splotch around her ear.
I feel this coin is undergraded by a point or 2...it has luster around the devices on both sides.
The liberty is all there,and the band 80% complete.
I need to get better at my photo skills.

Its very well graded - IMHO - in an NGC F-15 holder.
I believe its currently in the $7,500 range of bidding at the moment. >>
UPDATE:
FYI - The coin did not sell...its available at Heritage for $8625.
edit... Post # 3200 >>
It's neat I watched it but it's one of those "how did your chocolate fall into my peanut butter" kind of errors.
I feel it may have sold for $3500 max as it is heavily circulated.
