First of all a big thank you to Kale ... kalshacon ... for sending this my way. The ease of the negotiation, the level of trust, everything worked (as it quite often does on the BST).

The headache was even trying to get a decent picture ... although that was subdued by her many looks, none of which I could adequately capture. I may have to ask one of our resident guru's to do this one for me. The colors are magificent ... dark, but original and lovely. The fact it resides in white plastic doesn't help for my set-up at all.

This is not a great picture, but I wanted to show off the newest addition to my Barber Quarter harem image

Comments, guess the grade ... or post yours too

    Looks nice. I like the contrast between the eagle and field on the reverse. A few hairlines on Liberty's cheek, perhaps? I'll say 62.

    If I'm guessing the grade, I'll go with AU58 or MS 63. With the coin being as dark as it is, it's hard to tell but there appears to be what might be scuff marks on the check.

    Other than it being a little dark, it's a nice coin.

    Are you trying to collect the entire set?

    how many to go? what grade ranges?

    How much was this one?

    Im doing a set of VF-EX. The prices are not astronomical but I cant find the coins.

    Boy your pictures look much better than my poor attempts. I suppose I can't guess since I have some insider knowledge. It really is a great looking piece and I am happy that I could help you with your set.
