    Oooh, Ahhh. Very nice, yet I'm still very much partial to Sunnywood's MS-68 1892, which is one heckuva coin!

    The toning looks to be very attractive....what grade is the coin? How is the strike? Pics are a bit small but I wouldn't kick the coin out of bed for eating crackers image

    The coin is imaged on coinfacts and an extremely large image is there - if someone wants to resize that and post it, by all means. The coin is graded MS68+

    TDN: There are a bunch of MS-67 1916-D barber quarters (they came nice in the final year) including mine that could easily wrestle that coin for the grand prize. image

    I have to love mine even more than yours! Ownership is worth a grade or two!

    The glorious combination of luster and enough toning (but not too much toning)!

    But I do like your coin very much. However, it is so hard to review a MS-68 or MS-69 solely based on pictures. But that is a much tougher date than the common 1916-D's.

    Do most Barbers tone deeper on the reverse side? From the images I have seen of several Barbers all seem to have deeper, more vivid toning on the reverse.
    That is a very beautiful coin!

    Gorgeous coin! And it is a 1900-O as well! For those not familiar with Barber Quarters, the "O" mint coins generally are significantly scarcer than the "P" mints, especially in high grade.

    It looks like your type set is coming along just fine, TDN! image

    Stunning & beautiful coin - and looks MS 67 [+]
    - but the right facing talons are weak. Typical of
    New Orleans coins; however, the right facing
    shield edge is very well struck.

    That coin would have fit in perfectly in Sunnywood's,
    Friend's and Gardner's sets.

    TDN - thanks for sharing.

    Interesting. The bigger picture shows MORE of the beauty of your quarter!

    Now THAT I really like.

    Usually, the bigger the picture the more flawed the coin looks. Not in this case.

    Congratulations!

    I'm not a big fan of Barbers coinage personally (although some issues, as most will know, can become very scarce and desirable in high grades) but that's one stunning coinimage

    oh man ... every time I open a newp or picture thread from TDN I think my appreciation for the finest American coins goes up a notch!

    Thanks for sharing Bruce ... not sure if I'll sleep well, but what a beautiful example to behold!!
