More beautiful Barber quarters ...

I just looooove these new additions to my hoard of Barber quarters. The awesomely colorful 1895 PCGS MS66 did not make it into my Primary Set of MS Barber quarters (yes, my other 1895 is even better !!), but you can see it in the context of my P-mint date set. Check out both sets - there are about (80) or (90) nice True View images between the two sets.
Incidentally, the P-mint date set is a neat story, because PCGS lists Eliasberg's collection as the #1 all-time finest collection of circulation strike Barber quarters. Only one problem - Eliasberg did not own any circulation strikes for all the P-mint issues 1892 through 1915, because he collected the proofs instead. In those days, proofs were considered to be the same issue as business strikes, only "better." The only P-mint MS coin he owned was the 1916, as that was the only year in which proofs were not struck. So it is a bit questionable to call his set the #1 All-Time Finest Set, when he was missing 24 of the required coins !!! To poke fun at this, I am displaying all my P-mints in a date set - all the coins Eliasberg was missing. And for the 1916-P, I just happen to have the Eliasberg specimen to include in this date set ...
Anyway here are some cool BQ's: the awesome 1895 PCGS MS66 now featured in my sig line, and the Eliasberg 1916 PCGS MS66, 1893-O PCGS MS66, and a nice 1898 PCGS MS66:




Enjoy !!

The 1895 of course is spectacular, but my favorite is the 1898.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.
I'm a miserable failure when it comes to that one
As some of you have seen before, I have a couple of other BQ's that are similar to the 1898, but blow even that coin away. These are two of the stars of my BQ collection.
Posted first below, there is the 1895 PCGS MS67 that kept the beautiful MS66 posted above out of my main set ...
Posted second below, there is my 1892 Type II PCGS MS66 which has been posted here before, and the photo was called a "glam shot" .... but the coin REALLY looks like this ... inexplicably graded MS66 by PCGS, I just can't understand that (having examined almost EVERY PCGS MS66 and MS67 up at auction for the last 4-5 years, this coin has to be an MS67 by PCGS's own standards) ...
Here are they, one more time, taking an encore bow:
