Tim, the 07-S is in Lenny's hands--it's up to him for pics.
For those of you that collect raw Barbers, Lenny also has my Danscos of 50c/25c/10c and Lib 5c. I put them together from estate sales offered to me by clients--so as with most raw collections (not upgraded by individual purchases), many of the key dates are missing and those available have some "hair" on them; alternatively, there are some nice VF/XF common dates. If interested (@erwindoc), contact Lenny.

Dave, I already have an understanding on the direction of your '07-S in 55. It is spoken for. Thanks for the heads-up. I think you know what I am trying to acquire... appreciate the opportunities you have provided me so far.
Grateful! Tim

Thanks for posting that, Tim. There's a very easy way to identify +/- trends on the price of Barbers- look at my Registry sets. If I own the coin it's going down in value. If I don't own it the price is increasing.
At least that's how things work out when I buy/ sell.

I noticed in the Registry you have the '04-O Half in AU58 grade. So the value is going up and you do have it! along with being in the Top 5. Congratulations. Probably a drip in the bucket but positive none-the-less.

Reminiscing... I am still on the hunt for an XF 1907-S. Let me know if you find or have one. I missed out in StacksBowers March 2017 on a nice XF40. Probably would have bid stronger if I knew then what I knew now. - Tim

It was suggested that I put this query in this thread. Can someone help me? I also put it in the Wanted section.
Barber Quarter, PCGS
Would like to spend about $100 to fill the hole. Looking for the highest grade for that amount. Can go a little bit higher if needed. Date and mint not important. Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you

Paul, not clear if there is a specific date and mintmark needed. 20th Century set? then 1900 on. Earlier back to 1892 desired? What kind of set are you trying to fill... Type set? Also, does it have to be third-party graded? or raw like for filling a Dansco album. More info please. Tim

Tim,
That’s what I get for trying to cut and paste, lol.
I do not own a Barber quarter of any kind. I would like to spend approximately $100 for a PCGS graded coin to add to my Dansco 7070 set. The date, mintmark, and grade is not important except for the fact that I want the grade to be as high as possible for the money spent. I hope this clarifies my goal.
Paul
Paul- the Board rules don't allow us to offer coins for sale on this thread, but if you look at the Buy, Sell, Trade thread you might find something that meets your needs.
My fault. I’m the one that suggest he try the Barber thread to fill his needs. I thought someone could just pm him from here without causing any trouble. Sorry.
Paul, if you need s half just pm me
Good luck
@Tunis This is where you will definitely be able to connect with someone to help you find what you're looking for. I have coins of lower grades than you are most likely NOT looking for to include in your type set. What can I say except that I'm drawn to the more circulated examples, with XF 40 being the highest that I collect. As an example here's one that's in the process of joining my collection soon, thanks to @paesan

I'm in process of completing the hub varieties for the 1900 Quarters. Here's a raw 1900 S I picked up last week with the Type II OBV and the Type III Rev:
Sorry but I've been busy last two weeks, including a road trip to Tennessee where I stayed at the No Headlights Hotel! Thanks, Jim!
Lots of nice coins posted in all grades. Never underestimate a quality collection of VG-VF coins! I'd still rather collect quality low grade coins than marginal mid-high grade stuff.
Now, one of my favorite dates. This colorful beauty looks amazing in hand. I got it off Teletrade in a 55 holder. Now it's a 58 CAC.

When you ask for an opinion on a coin you will get a lot of different answers. The look I enjoy may not be yours. Many of your halves are just what I enjoy. Those two are not. Doesn’t mean they aren’t great, just not for me. Not understanding the CAC comment, sorry.
LOL! I know we don't have the same tastes and that's what makes the world go round! I looked and thought it was you who asked if either were CAC! My Bad!

Here' a new raw pickup, a 1893 O Quarter:
I liked the look of it. My guess is it's AU55 material. The main reason I purchased it is it's the EXACT pair of dies that struck my MS63:
The newp has the same die clash on the obverse (including shield lines in the ear) and the same small die cracks on the reverse. Kind of interesting to find a soulmate for the 63!
I couldn't help myself; I did it again. I saw another nice looking 1893 O Quarter with the die clash in an eBay Auction. It was the same die pairing as the two listed above. I ended up with the coin; it arrived in the mail today:
This one looks like AU55 material to me. Eventually our hosts will have the opportunity to render their opinion.
A new arrival for my 1900 Barber Quarter Hub variety set, a 1900 S in a NGC AU55 holder:
This is the Type II Obverse paired with the Type III Reverse- from what I'm observing the most common.
It looks good for the grade to me. Since PCGS (and NGC, for that matter) don't acknowledge Barber Quarter Hub varieties I'll likely just leave the coin in it's current holder. The problem with that thought, however, is finding a box that will hold both NGC and current PCGS holders. Ugh!
It sure would be nice if the holder identified the Hub Varieties so I didn't need to create my own homemade stuff.
... Shifting gears, here's a nice raw dime that I just got from a buddy that I wish was a quarter!
(Photos courtesy Barberkeys)
Still keeping a lookout for that S/S in the '07-S dime. Will examine this NEWP in hand more closely about the 12th depending on shaky USPS deliveries as of late. The sellers pics don't bring out the possibility clearly. Unlikely here as they look like appropriately placed scratches and lighting:

It has a RPM, but not the same one visible on @sedulous coin:
Or is it just a case of shelf doubling (most likely)?
doubling on the ribbon too... probably not recognizable as a RPM unfortunately.. very cool none-the-less! for my newp, I am 99% sure it is NOT a RPM... it was a cheap pick-up so no worries.

Finally got around to finishing off my Dansco low grade(G/VG) Barber half set with the addition of the 92O. Not too much to look at but it matches the rest of the set very nicely. Now, I have to decide if I am going to crack it out to put in the album or keep it in the holder!

My vote- crack it out. Do you really want to stare at the empty hole in the album? Retain the label, however.
