Barber Grades Back - Plus an Eliasberg Mercury Dime

MFH

I had a few ANACS graded Barbers - an 1892-P Quarter in DDO - AU 58 - which crossed as an AU 58;
1893-P Half in TDR - AU 58 - which also crossed as an AU 58. [ No images yet, sorry ].

I also tried to get an 1898-S Quarter in PCGS AU 58 designated as the Breen 4159 = S/o. Nothing doing.
Coin came back in its new Secure Plus holder ... in the same grade as sent in... AU 58. Oh well... nothing ventured
nothing gained.

Before I went to FUN, I bought a nice looking 1908-O Quarter in PCGS 64 on line on eBay. I thought
that the surfaces were very clean - and upon receiving it in hand, I knew it was a MS 65. I was very
pleasantly surprised with the new grade: MS 65 + .

Once imaged, I'll post them.

The Eliasberg Dime is a 1917-S NGC 66 [ No FB ] ... which is now a PCGS 65.

Not a bad turn out if I do say so myself.

Holy Smokes! I'd love to see images of that 1908-O!

MFH

Tom,

I had it in Glenn's case at FUN before I submitted it.
The seller's images are ok - but the new ones will be better.

MFH

As the coin was clearly nicer than a 64 -
the seller wanted MS 65 money for it
but we reached an agreement of 64+ money.

I paid $774 delivered for the coin -
and now PCGS says its worth $1750.

Here are the seller's images:

That is a beautiful Barber. Wow. Coins like that make me wish I had the money to collect high-end Barber coins

Nice quarter Mike!

And I'll take that Eliasberg dime as a belated Christmas present!

Do you have a picture of the dime?

MFH

I wil have images as soon as I get the coins back from
PCGS and then have them professionally imaged.

Jon... At our age - we don't exchange gifts anymore.

I do have images of these coins - but the seller's images;
I'll post everything when I get them.

All I have are the seller's images at the moment;
I should have better images in a few weeks.
