Here's a new pickup for me, an 1893 O Quarter in an ICG MS 63 holder:
This is a Center MM Variety. It has a "struck thru" feature on the cheek/ neck, and shows clash marks on both the obverse and reverse. I'll probably submit it to PCGS for crossover.
That's a nice looking quarter @JeffMTampa - The "struck thru" area is not terribly distracting imho. The reverse strike appears to be typical of the New Orleans mint- wouldn't you agree?

The main reason I purchased the coin was for the "Struck Thru". The listing photos for this coin on eBay were terrible, but I find it very attractive. The reverse strike has weak spots opposite the obverse high points, but I think it's a sharper strike than most from New Orleans.
One of the tougher AU dates in the Barber Quarter set. I recently came across an AU 58 in an old ANACS small white holder:
The word "Colorful" comes to mind. Although I plan on submitting it to our hosts for crossover I know they might claim its artificially toned. Hard to say- it's been in the current holder for many years.
The coin appears to have an S/S mintmark:
But it's not the variety recognized by PCGS. Has anyone seen this RPM before?

Just received this coin back from our hosts placing it into the Condition Census. It is a PCGS AU58 Clashed Dies FS-901. In my view it has an equally comparative, beautiful look when placing it next to the other MS64 and MS63 condition census specimens.

@Kccoin thanks for sharing your '10-S Half Dollar. What you have there is the far right mintmark placement which is the more common of the two or three known placements. The other more distinguishing placement is approximately-directly centered above of the opening in the "D" in "DOLLAR".

Nice looking pickup @JeffMTampa - what do you think is the green in the stars of the reverse? Are you thinking of trying a little bit of acetone on it?

A little acetone should remove the green gunk- at least it's not in a slab!
Great close-up pic Jeff. It would be great if that quarter could be recognized. Barber dimes should get more attention too. The '07-S quarter is the quarter with a lot of variety things going on (relatively speaking in comparison to the rest of the series) when talking about this date and mint. A good first guess @jedm!

@sedulous I'm in the process of getting into extreme macro photography. That shot was taken with a 2X teleconvertor on a 150mm Macro Lens, but I'm in the process of obtaining adapters so I can use microscope objectives to the camera for very detailed shots. I would like to photographically document a lot of the Barber Varities, both known and unknown. There isn't good information currently available!

If that 07 S was the same as in the old ANACS holder it's nice looking @JeffMTampa - you were sending it in to crossover right? Your pics are really nice too.
Here's my latest addition- sort of another "cheap date" but I like her:

No book in the works- I can't afford to loose that much money. Who would buy it? I'm thinking of taking on a project for BCCS, although they don't know it and may not want it.

I for one would be interested in seeing such a book come to fruition. I think you are wrong Jeff on whether "anyone would buy it". A well-written book on a Barber subject such as half dollar varieties will include new, never before published, information that even non-specialists would love to have in their libraries.

The varieties seem to be in the dimes and quarters. There don't seem to be many die varieties for Barber Halves. Perhaps because the dies were larger the imperfections were caught before production? If that's true, however, how does one explain all the varieties in Dollar coins?

Simply gorgeous coins Jeff. Way to go! I agree half dollars did not seem as prone to varieties.

Half Dollars dated 1901-P and 1901-S respectively. PCGS VF30 and PCGS VG10 respectively... I apologize if I am found to be a repeat offender for re-sharing images again.

To bump back to page one- Here's a "cheap date" that I found attractive.

Mine looks similar to the L103 on the BCCS website, but the photo is a bit grainy- hard to tell.
I have an example of the other '07 S RPM, FS-501:
Jeff - Regardless of the variety, nice find on the 07-S. It will be interesting to see what our hosts say.
