I also picked up two nice newps from Lenny's Stash... Both PCGS 58's... ( no images yet ) ... 1908-Phila and a 1914-D ... ( no CAC stickers, yet ).
Today, I was able to work a deal with another collector I have dealt with in the past couple of years... Getting a Type One 1892-O in 58 CAC as well as a addition of an 1896- Phila in MS 62. I also am getting another 1894-S but this one is CAC'd. A nicer 1905-Phila is also coming my way, in PCGS 58 CAC.
One more submission of Quarters for CAC ...then it's off to Messydesk for images. I have 14 Quarters with new CAC stickers that need to be imaged as well.

LOL, CRAIG. It was great chatting yesterday, and am glad I was able to help you figure out how to post a permanent link to your sets in your signature line.
That's why there is a Testing Forum. LOL. No problem, my friend. Now... show off some new Barbers of yours ( edit your two posts ).
Although I have a dozen or so newps, I don't have images yet. They need to be sent to the photographer one of these days.

Ok, two can play this game - you show me all of my old coins and I'll show all of your old coins that I sold for you... Even I kick myself about selling this one....

I might need to dip my toe in the water... I used to have a handful of Barber Proofs but gave that up a while ago (sold them off), decided I was a Circulation Strike guy (prefer that over Proof).
Be careful of what you ask for as I'll become competition for nice eye appealing coins (although I probably wouldn't collect anything higher than a 64)
I received the 92-O the other day, and I would have graded it as an AU 55. I think it's a fine line, but I have many other 58's that are heads above this coin. It's just a very sweet 55+ ...
One of these days, I'd like to get a 55+ .... I just bought another duplicate at a recent Bowers/Stacks auction ... It's in an AU 53 holder, and looks much nicer, and although I have yet to receive it ( I just got the invoice this morning - and thank God S/B now takes PayPal - so it's paid for without coming out of checking ), I should have it in hand when I get back from Summer FUN.
I like this one a lot more than the other two I own:

Speaking of newest ones... Here's a coin I just picked up at FUN at Dave Kahn's table......1895-S - PCGS 58.... { pictures are from the previous owner }
This is a minor upgrade to my AU 55 :
I think you can see why I replaced it...

as an AU 55. I think it's a fine line, but I have many other 58's
that are heads above this coin. It's just a very sweet 55+ ...
One of these days, I'd like to get a 55+ .... I just bought another
duplicate at a recent Bowers/Stacks auction ... It's in an AU 53

it ( I just got the invoice this morning - and thank God S/B now

I certainly did not "need" this coin - but I had to have it because of the colored toning. Thanks again Valente151 for pointing it out to me.
