newp 1907D Barber Half PCGS AU58: my 20th century Capitol Holder Type set is complete!(PICS ADDED!)

1907Quarter · August 31, 2007 3:01AM

Pictures of the entire collection will be forthcoming soon! this is the obvious last piece. My set is untoned(copper is all RD) and white BRHs don't come up too often, let alone with some meatty luster left after dipping!

over three years of searching for this one, many times thought of giving up and then Mark Glicker has this one on the BAY which I happily bidded on and more luckily, won! Is this coin the holy grail of the 20th cent type set?!

btw, Barberman's icon is this coin's twin, my forum name!!!

not the best pics, but you get the idea. had to shoot with front cover off. still glare problems on some pics. I may make a composite of a different type later...

Good job, brother.

What's next?

1907Quarter · August 31, 2007 3:07AM

mmm....good question. working on some gold for type, pcgs design type set. may pull from my dansco(premium examples) to submit to pcgs and then put a 19th century typset on the adjacent wall when complete! but this can take some time!

OneCent · August 31, 2007 3:24AM

Congratulations, man! Great accomplishment and I love that 1907-D Half

!!!

Cladiator · August 31, 2007 3:33AM

Congratulations man, quite an acomplishment! Can't wait to see the entire collection laid out together

SilverBaron · August 31, 2007 3:34AM

Very nice Newp and congrats on the set

Any chance of a " set " pix?

1907Quarter · August 31, 2007 3:39AM

first I have to (hold my breath) and crack out the half. then remove the cover to the Capitol, shoot away, recover with half, develop pics! a project I'm looking forward to! then I go to the local craft store to contemplate framing!

TomB · August 31, 2007 3:43AM

What you have accomplished takes significant discipline that is out of the reach of most of us.

dimples · August 31, 2007 4:01AM

Great coin....would love to see a photo of the coins in the cap. plastic holder. I also have the same set on my wall BUT
most of the coins are circulated.

BTW no toning on the set in over 30 years of hanging on the wall.

Very nice, and yes, probably a sharp AU Barber Half IS the toughest coin in that set. Well done!

JJM · August 31, 2007 5:20AM

, blazin coin, congrats,...lets see 'em all !

1907Quarter · August 31, 2007 6:02AM

Great coin....would love to see a photo of the coins in the cap. plastic holder. I also have the same set on my wall BUT

the 3 Barbers are all 58 as is the T-! SLQ. when I post the set I will include the excel sheet remarks!

Barberman55 · August 31, 2007 11:26AM

Congratulations........I'm looking forward to viewing your type set. Nice strike and luster on your Barber half!

etexmike · August 31, 2007 11:38AM

Congrats.

It seems like a majority of the time an AU58 coin will look much nicer than coins graded in the low mint state range. Your Barber looks to be another example of that. Very nice.

Beautiful collection.

tightbudget · September 1, 2007 2:14PM

That's one hell of a set you got going on!

tychojoe · September 1, 2007 9:14PM

That's really cool. Shows how to get 'er done!

Barberman55 · September 1, 2007 10:45PM

It's nice to be able to display your coins versus having them locked away in a safety deposit box. Very impressive!

dimples · September 2, 2007 11:32AM

Fantastic look in the holder...That's one set you can be proud of.....congrats on the hard work

Dan

originalisbest · September 2, 2007 11:44AM

Very nice look in the holder! I have the same type of set to do, tho for mine I've decided not to have any proof strikes. Either way, it's a VERY nice set, and undoubtedly better than 99% of such sets in these type of Capital Plastics displays. Thanks for sharing it!

originalisbest · September 2, 2007 11:49AM

Oh, and superb T1 stander - a twin to the one I ALSO got from Jon at RCNH. They do know their nice Standers, don't they? No surprise since Jon has pursued them for a while. Congrats on your set!

1907Quarter · September 2, 2007 11:53AM

what's nice about the t-1 was that i bought it on ebay before ebay tanked in coin quality. I sent it to Jon just to have a look at it. He and Warren were both pleased w/it

their checking was just a small but not insignificant event!

originalisbest · September 2, 2007 12:02PM

Well, no surprise there as it certainly looks up to their standard. Nice find!

Tonelover · September 2, 2007 12:24PM

Nice job 1907. I really like the way that you wait as long as it takes for the right coin to come along. I've seen people build nearly complete collections of various series in the time it takes you to find just the right single piece for your purposes.
