Did anyone here buy this Barber Half from Northeast Numismatics?

JoeLewis

Hey, did anyone buy this coin From Northeast Numismatics at the FUN show? I tried to pull the trigger when they told me that it was just sold at the show! Dang it

I'm guessing it sold to another dealer, since the public bourse is not open yet.
So it may show up on another site or listing, albeit at a higher price.

The public is allowed into the show today as long as the public pays $75 for the entry fee and $15 for membership into FUN.

Pretty coin.

Walkerguy21D

Good point, Tom. I assumed those paying the admittance fee (aka early bird badge) were dealers of some sort, but perhaps not all. The FUN Topics website does not even list the Wed hours on the main page.

TomB

I actually agree with you that it was likely sold to another dealer. The bourse was dead today even though I believe the floor was open until a very late hour. Most of those in attendance appeared to be doing Heritage lot viewing.

Never fear, there are plenty of nice MS65-66 Barber halves available at decent prices. Odds are you'll eventually find a better piece at less money.

Two guys that might know (and are at the show) are Mike Hayes and Glenn Holsonbake. Well, Glenn is there. Not sure if Mike is or not. But one of them might know since they are Barber specialists.

Dwayne: Mike is at the show and can be reached by a private pcgs message or you can see him at Glenn's table.

Joe: Nice coin. I'm sure you will find another "looker"

What appears to be a toning streak around the eye is distracting. As for the coin's color, I'd need to see it in person before commenting further, though it appears attractive in the image. I also notice a series of contact / slide marks along the jaw and on the neck, which are common for mid-grade Uncs of this series.

I would think the combination of what I mentioned above would preclude an MS 65 grade, unless the coin got a bump for its color.

JoeLewis

It's in an NGC MS63 holder.

Nice looking coin for a 63. There are probably some hidden wipe lines that limit the grade.

Elcontador, I think those lines on the neck are toning streaks as seen elsewhere on that coin. The 3 "white dots" on the neck are confusing but I don't think they are tiny digs followed by a hairline scratch. But In any case there must be enough hairlines to limit the grade. The initial look of the coin from the photos is gem.

There are also still plenty of nice looking MS63 Barber halves to choose from out there as it's only collectors looking for them.

FYI - IF I had seen it - it'd be on its way to Naples.

Nice coin.

I really love the look of that coin
