This coin is a potential purchase for my new 19th century VF-XF Basic Type Set.
As of this initial post, it is not yet a new purchase and really just under consideration.
A few days ago, I got this PM:
<< <i>HI i have a 1914 D barber 25c I think you might like for your type set! I can email you pictures if you would like. Also you can put it up as a gtg if you would like, Im kind of curious what others think of it. >>
So the seller is a forum member, but doesn't mind me doing a poll thread. Cool. I responded:
<< <i>Thanks! Sounds interesting. I was really sort of hoping to do an 1890s date for all my Barbers (in keeping with the whole 19th century theme), but I suppose if one has the right look, I could be persuaded, maybe. >>
So there 'tis. He emailed pictures, and now we have a poll thread.
My initial impressions? I like the coin's general look, but whether I should move on this one or hold out for an 1890s-dated one with the look I like, we'll see. "CircCam" contrast is not terribly difficult to find on Barber coins. That being said, this one does seem to have particularly nice contrast in the toning.
