DANG! PCGS is blowing there bandwith out of the saddle with all the bumps to see what has been posted! What are we getting up to 10 outta 20 per page??? Fingers Crossed I can see the next page!
Mike, fantastic set...I'm sure it was so fun to put together. Thanks for sharing it with us! Your friend does some superb photography too Good luck on completing it this year.
I realized Photobucket has once again messed up my images....there is no Rhyme Nor Reason to the date placement.
So, for your viewing pleasure [again] - here are all the missing dates and MM's.
Here are the rest of the Quarters Mike Valente imaged for me: ( Any other missing images from this group - were previously imaged - and were shown on this forum.) Only the most recent images have been displayed here.
To be continued...
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I have posted this one before - it was actually in my second set of Dimes and was sold at auction in August, 2011. When I saw it again for sale - I knew it should come home. Ex: Tom Casey Collection:
I located this thru another US Coin Forum Member and I liked it - as I did not have my old 58 back at that time... I still like this newer 55 :
I just found this coin on the BST - I thought it might upgrade to a 53 - or - 55 ... but no... it didn't even CAC.... Its not as nice as my old 58 [ which resides in JMW's collection ]
I bought this Micro O from Larry of Sea Eagle Coins a few years ago for my cousin's son - who I started a Dime Collection for .... I kept the coin until I upgraded it with the AU 50....

Another great pic Vern, as I look at the prices for AU and MS quarters compared to the half dollars, and see all of the fantastic quarters out there I sometimes wish I could set the halves aside for a while. It appears you can get some real nice value buying quarters now, just can't seem to put the halves away for a while. I'll have to figure out some kind of alternating thingy, I'm sure others have the same dilemma.
Mike, your quarters and dimes are absolutely beautiful. It's very clear you've been selective in their acquisition.
Another recent raw coin pickup, a 1897 50C:
I love the toning on this coin; it looks original to me. It will be submitted to our hosts at FUN for grading; I'm guessing it will come back in a 55 holder.
Dave - Thanks again. IMO, most dates of barber halves are easier to find than most dates of barber qtrs, in original AU to low MS. I guess prices are higher for halves, due to demand being higher. If you decide to add qtrs to your collection, welcome to my collecting world.
Jeff - Nice looking '97. Congrats. 55 looks about right to me.
Pics for this AM, another newp into Paesan's Stash, PC55:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Vern, another nice pic. I guess you have hundreds of photos taken over the years, not sure when you find time to buy.
Beautiful coin Jeff, fantastic color, it's hard for me to pull the trigger on raw silver coins and especially coins as nice as that. I have spent most of my collecting time on Flying Eagle and Indian cents, so I have to build up that confidence when it comes to Barber halves, lot of costly mistakes to be made.

Vern- I guess after all of the years you have been collecting Barbers you have built up a pretty good assortment of trusted dealers to buy from. Shows like this years FUN are great places to learn about the series and meet up with some of the other experienced collectors, was really looking forward to that but will have to put it off until next year.
Jeff- I know you are right, I'll eventually have to take a few chances with the raw coins, but after sending in two Franks years back cut directly from mint sets only to have them come back cleaned/altered surfaces I am still a little gun shy. I have had a lot better luck with the copper coins, but if I do start a higher grade Barber set it will for sure be quarters.
Since the thread has slipped to page 4 I'll post another recent raw coin purchase, a 1906 50C:
I'm submitting a lot of nice raw Barber Halves to PCGS at FUN; I suspect this will come back as a AU 55. I'm also submitting a NGC AU 55 1902 S Half for crossover ( an auction win from last night).
I'm hoping to meet some of you at FUN this week! Who's going to be there?
Dave - When it comes to finding nice barber qtrs, a circle of good collector friends is as important as dealer contacts, IMO.
Jeff - Be interested to hear how your submissions work out.
Paesan (and all others at FUN) - enjoy the show, good luck on finding a nice coin or two. Also enjoy the weather, it's supposed to stay below zero here today. Also, Paesan, neither your NTT or NTM click with me.

Okay - I'll start with a few for today...

This 92-o was one of my favorites while photographing the coins.
Yes, I'll be at FUN from Thurs. morning to Saturday afternoon. I'll be at the BCCS meeting Friday afternoon with my virtual Barber Half collection.
Nice Seateds... Also - very nice Halves, Jeff.

Mike, Beautiful, colorful coins! My faves are 96-O, 97-O, OO-S.
Jeff, Hammered another NTT! Way to go. My clues are too easy. Does anyone besides me doubt that the first word of that song is "Ticking?"
How about a NTM (Name that movie)

Lenny...FUN is around the corner!
Mike V - Great job on the photos.
Jeff - Didn't mean to neglect your halves, really like the tough, tough 01-O.
Paesan - Had the NTT (from one of the 10 best albums of all time IMO), not the NTM, tho. Good job Mowgli.
Pics for this AM, my new year's wish, PC65:
Happy New Year to all.

Mike, I'm overwhelmed too. Like the 06-O, and 07-O, and 12-S. What? No 09-O? :-)
Mowgli, "Junior, Get the honey!"
Paesan
Spotted an 09-O I like ... Might make a play for it,
the 01-O, 01-S, 07-S and the 13-S. My goal for 2015:
" FINISH THE QUARTER COLLECTION

If this is a duplication - I will not be pleased -
but for safety sake - I will break up my post
into many posts....Think EDITING is SAFER !!
Here are Quarters that Photobucket rearranged for me -
got to love the mind of a computer - "its my way or the highway" Mentality.

Between Photobucket and this site with all its hic-cups - you'll have to wait for the latest Dime images to be posted !!
