    Ok , sorry I have a bad camera but picture 1. Clash runs over the a in quarter and curves up and around under wing ( That would be the back of the hair) picture 2. this is tough to see but, it is just a bad angle runs from between nu in unum and runs all the way up and down you can see it under unum to the wing better! picture 3. You can see that one plain as day but it also connects across the top and you can see the outline in many different places on the coin! Nice little bonus to a coin that my camera does no justice (wonderful colors) lol!

    << <i>Paul,

    You're right - it's a nice bonus - and an interesting coin.
    Its a minor die clash and as a result - not worth more
    than a perfect coin. Just a whole lot more fun !! >>



    agreed, just a fun find.

    LP - Great looks on those barber halves.

    Big thanks to JMW for these crusty, awesome album fillers!

  • LGP,
    Nice selection of worn Barbers...they look enticing.

    Scott,
    Nice 92-O...streaks across the obverse I'm assuming are from the holder...but good detail and crust...a real contender!
  • barberkeysbarberkeys Posts: 4,156 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Scott - Really like the originality of the 04-O.

    LP - Nice group, no rim issues or anything.

    Doug - Thank you for the trade. Thought I'd post a couple of pics, you have great taste in coins. Will leave the 05-S for another day.

    KAJ and Mike - nice coins.

    Broadstruck - beautiful quarter, but it's not broadstruck. Maybe you ought to sell it. hint hint!

    RLD - seems the collecting bug never leaves. Maybe you could try barber quarters this time. Wait a minute, what's the matter with me, they're tough enough without more competition.

    The other coin I recently acquired from Doug, PCGS-40.

    These early ones are tough to find with full rims on both sides in "affordable" grades.
    Plus no guilt cracking out these yellow label ANACS.

    Thanks for looking.

    << <i>Well another State is heard from !!

    Broadstruck, you know of course, that 92-O Type One is the
    rarer of the two and your's is an excellent example. Never knew
    you owned that !! Bring it to Phila with you. >>



    Thanks MFH I'll bring it for show-n-tell image

    Thanks barberkeys, Below is a better picture which shows the luster better on the 92-O... It's the prettiest AU64 I've ever found.

    The other is the 07-S Off Center plated in David Lawrence Barber Quarter Error Section also in a PCGS AU58 holder.

    Barberkeys- What grade is that 92? That is a nice looking coin!
  • SAM5969SAM5969 Posts: 1,216 ✭✭✭
    Vern - Nice additions - Really nice coins from Doug

    Mike - Super Dimes - Endless accumulations .. Bravo!

    Broad - Love the 92-O Quarter - looks fully struck, great tone .. MS63?

    Well .. I am continuing to expand my horizons and as such ... a prized piece has just been listed on the world's internet flea market ...Hate to let it go .. But won't fit with my current set so time to let someone else be the keeper for a time ... Amazing toning and a breathtaking reverse .. One Lenny would likely appreciate:

    Broadstruck - I like the 92-O even more now. And the 07-S, such a tough date in orig AU. I would pay a very strong buck for one like yours that wasn't an error. Great qtrs.

    Pauly - It's a PCGS-58.

    Scott - Such a tough date, I bet it goes pretty quick.

    A newp that just arrived today, PCGS-45. I am very pleased, thanks Dennis.

    Excellent example of a tougher date half Vern .. the 1902-O XF45 in my set was one of my first coins in the set .. Didn't realize at the time what a deal I got on it paying only $275 for it .. Several months later I remember seeing Arnie Heller selling a couple of 02-O Halves in the $500 range for XF and high $300's for VF35 ... As I recall they may have sat for awhile but at the same time I didn't see another for sale for about 6 months and that was on Heritage. I know Dave Kahn sold one recently. If I remember correctly it went in the low $400s

    I was looking through The Complete Guide to Barber Quarters ... Never realized all MM were directly above the R ... And so many different positions. Here is a PCGS AU50 ... of course the more common T2 !!! image

    Scott - Beautiful original 92-O, common type or not. And you definitely made out on your 02-O half in 45.

    hi, all Barber friends! I thought I'd share what I've accumulated over the last year. And boy-oh-boy do I wish I could photograph the 1908-S below properly. It's my favorite Barber I own (proof-like fields, and all of the details of a coin still MS-65). It was a Dogwood purchase at some point last year. All images done with an iphone image

    Patches, you have had a decent year! Those are some killer halves!

    Mike, holy Barber Dimes! I think it's great that putting that set together is gathering the interest of a 14yr old. That's just so cool for today's youth.

    Broadstruck, I can barely afford a Barber in that condition, let alone an error...I hate you...image

    1908-D Uncentered Broadstrike Mint Error MS61.

    This is the only UNC Barber half dollar error I've ever seen.

    That is one sweet half! The only UNC is very intriguing. I know I have seen Realone's but I believe that was an AU. That would be too cool to have the only known MS error half.

    Even though it is like rubbing sand in a wound. image

    Patches - Really nice halves, especially like the look of the 93-O.

    Mike - I think you're having all the fun on the mid grade dime collection. Bet your nephew will enjoy the summer seminar.

    Broadstruck - Excellent halves, errors or not.
