It's too bad about the '09-O quarter and '97-S half, but the '04-S half is a bigtime winner and the '07-S half is much tougher than all but the heartiest Barber half nuts would realize.
Any idea why the 1909-O would be graded "altered surface"? I had a run of coins from my album come back that way from grading, and with some of them I STILL can't figure out what the problem was... . Nice grades on your other halves- I can see why you're on Cloud 9!

I BIN the 09-o on the Bay a week before I was planning to send in the submission so I popped it on with only a prayer. It had a dipped but not shiney look. Kinda too neutral, although nothing wierd. I'll post pix in the jumbo Barber thread. It's a VF 35 and it was preatty cheap. No great loss.
Someday I'll learn to Paste links. I tried once. Prolly a Mac thing.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
Craig the 04-s was raw, as were they all, as purchased. I'll keep an eye out for your 05-p at the Santa Clara show. I won't need it since I'm just doing a representative date set. And congrats, by the way on your set. Inspiring. Thanks to all the above who shared in my happytime.

Dogwood,
Congrats on the 96-O, 04-S, 05-O and 07-S halves.
Never could find out what they were referring to. I was so disgusted with not being able to cross
an otherwise nice 1901-S half in NGC 63, I sold it. If it crossed into a PCGS holder, you'd have to
pry it from my hands after I was in my casket...

Was the 04-S raw or broken out of another holder?
Bummer that you didn't make an 05-P in XF45.
