    Here's my first ever Gold CAC from a personal submission. I bought this 1899-O from Vern a few years ago. PC-50.

    I am looking forward to being able to join!

    Well no duh! The coin belongs in a 55 holder! How did it ever get placed in a 50 holder?

    I like the story better the way it's been played out- congrats!

    I love them Barber Halves.....

    Thanks, Jim!

    A pair of 07-S quarters. First is PC-53 CAC. Second is PC-55 CAC (From SROTAG, finally!!!)

    The 1907-S in AU-55 is tied for third lowest pop along with the 1913-S at 6
    Then the 1901-S at 5
    Then the 1909-O at 4

    Rare coin,it's nice to see one

    It appears that neither of the above examples have a RPM. Here's my '07 S in a PC AU55 holder:


    This one has a triple RPM; not the one recognized by our hosts:

    I also have a '07 S in a PC VF35 holder:


    This one has the PCGS recognized RPM:

    The '94-S BQ that was supposed to be shipped by July 20th arrived today one month later. Here is my cursory pic of the XF45 with far right mintmark position:

    Nice coin. Looks like the exact MM position as mine. I wonder if there are more?

    Thanks, Jeff. I've been looking hard for XFs with this look. It's not like collecting mint state coins! Few and far between.

    And a matching dime would be most welcome!

    Not in the same league as your Quarter, but here's a decent '03 S Dime:

    Overall, I think it went well. First zoom meeting I have been on in the last 5 months that has been by choice.

    I was excited by the invite! I would not get to attend that meeting otherwise! Silver lining on 2020 I guess!

    I heard online it might have been "Tom" as the culprit. He may not have known how to mute himself since the collaboration technology was new for many BCCS members. Did you guys agree on my two questions asked of John Frost toward the end of the meeting? (1) Finish the dime variety survey that has been sitting on the BCCS website for quite a while and (2) let us have access to the Steve Hustad variety list (or see it) which has been updated greatly this year (big contributor @JeffMTampa)?

    If so, click "Agree" below. - Tim

    I missed the online meeting last night- completely forgot!

    I smell a nice new '07 S Quarter coming into someone's future- and it isn't me.

  • erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,037 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Tim,

    I think it would be worth it to finish. Im sure its lots of work though. Personally, I have never been much of a variety collector, but I think that over mint marks are neat. Do any exist in the barber series?

    Coin of the day....PC-30. Love the color and crusty devices. (Photos courtesy Barberkeys)

    Well, here is proof your sniffer is working Jeff! Future plan is to see if our hosts agree to this being AU50:

    Good call Jeff!, I may have found a second to one of your 1907-S/S/S RPM's

    Nice coins, El Dorado!

    Just scored 5 out of 12 in a PCGS reconsideration submission. Yeah, baby! Here's one that a buyer decided to cancel the order on, so then I got in upgraded. :smiley:

    A very exciting NEWP for me! a desperate fill into my Barber Quarter XF set. This is a PCGS XF45+ 1892-S Type 1 Reverse (only one with a + grade at XF45). It is just about perfect in viewing pleasant-ness!...

    Steve Hustad agrees with Lenny on the shelf (machine) doubling. May cause an issue when trying to attribute it as a RPM. Requires more precise images for a full determination. Is it possible to still have a RPM as part of the die then have the shelf doubling additionally?

    Thanks for sharing these gorgeous coins.

    I've known your 92 for years. Most recently when Oliver owned it. If you ever attend a FUN show we should meet and compare examples. We would have FUN.

    I enjoy our barber thread though believe folks sometimes forget that Mike Hayes loved ms coins. Keep showing them!

    Hey Thanks Nic! Would absolutely enjoy meeting you at a real coin show! I miss Coin Shows!!!!! Well, that 1892 is really something.....It's a trophy coin for the Barber enthusiast. I would be very interested to know what the provenance was prior to it being in "The Type Set" Can you shed any light on that?

    Tough to follow up the coins from previous posts, but someone has to take one for the team.

    The BCCS Barber Quarter Variety project posted no reported examples of the 1900 Type I OBV/ Type III REV Quarter. The commentary seemed to question if it existed. Here's my example of the 1900 Type I/ Type III Quarter in a NGC AU55 holder:

    I see you got one of the limited run of Gardner books. Only a select few were able to obtain a copy. I have $ for anyone who can locate another for me to purchase!

    It looks to me like the '96 S is WAY under graded.....

  • paesanpaesan Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Dave, Very nice! I like the 96-S. Where's the beer?

    Jeff, Nice 93-S half! Did you find that raw?

    Here's one I've had for a while and just got it stickered. PC-40. Thanks Barberkeys for the photos.
