Dr. Pete, it's an honor to have your 99-O and 09-S in my set and to be the custodian of such incredible coins for awhile. Those two along with the 92-S and 96-O all have PL surfaces and my guess is NGC would give at least 2 and possibly all 4 a PL desgnation. Maybe PCGS will catch on to it someday and do the same. Hint, hint, PCGS! I also want to thank you for being my Barber Half mentor. I have learned so much from you over the past year + with what you have shared with me. You are a special guy for sure.
Ken, I gave Ben that pat on the back when he returned the halves but I have to say he has really grown into a fine photographer. I think he did a great job of accurately capturing the look of each one just as Dr. Pete stated.
It's a great feeling to have made a lot of progress but it will be slowing down for sure with some toughies still to work on like the 04-S, 1913 - 1915-P's, and the 1900-1902-"O's" with decent strikes. But the quest will go on and some day I will get there.
I was just looking over your Barber halves, great work by the way but I couldn't help thinking how a guy can spend years putting a set together or days getting the pictures right and it only takes a few minutes to look through the collection. Good luck with your endeaver in completing the set.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
Glenn, it was a great honor and privilege to photograph your wonderful set. I only wish I had more than the few hours time with the coins. Thanks for allowing me to photograph them!

Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see the whole set imaged and done so with good quality and uniform technique.
I do still miss a few of those beauties including the proof-like 99-O and the 09-S.
Congrats on being already 1/2 of the way through.
Cheers.
