Grades have been posted for some of the coins I sent to PCGS back in late June. Here's a 1902 S Barber Half that I purchased raw. Guess the grade:
I'll post the Trueview Image with the Cert Number tomorrow for the grade reveal.
AU Details? Scratch too much for the grading room.
Here's a coin I won on Ebay about 3 years ago with a less than desired photo that I took a chance on.
Has luster on both sides.I'm interested in what grade you would give it.

AU58 in my book. It could be a MS coin, but I would need to rotate it in hand to make that call.
Here's the grade reveal on the '02 S Half posted yesterday:

There's more meat on this coin than an AU 50 grade would suggest, so it appears to be net graded. Is it the scratch on the neck? The toning? Or did Darrell get it right with "Fugley"?

Eye Appeal is one of the components of grade!
Came back from a full day at Chicago Rosemont WFoM. My presentation on Barber Varieties was well received during the BCCS Annual Meeting (for those who were able to attend, the BCCS grouping was being generous and kind in response).
Have some newps to image and show here soon. My YN (graduated him) picked up a nice 1899-O Barber Dime in PC53. On day 2, Barbers were picked over in many places to look. Barbers were above average sellers vs. the whole on the bourse. I would say in reality though, coins of all kinds were moving in all categories. Seemed to have a healthy numismatic scene out there.

AU55. Eye appeal is a component of grade and the color is a bit "busy" on this coin. I agree with Jeff on the wear detail for an AU58. I see a slight worn area on the hair above the eyebrow on the obverse. Right (to the viewer) upper portion of shield seems to have ever so slight wear.

Thanks,
My photo skills aren't the best (i-phone)
On the reverse the whitish (clear) color in the fields is actually the luster...same with the obverse top of cap and laurel area.
I had to buy this because it reminded me of an early barber quarter 40+ years ago. I wish I knew where it was now. It was an 1895, rainbow toning in at least a 65 holder.
You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!
I was able to secure an adequate XF45 in PCGS holder for the 1904-O. Here is a better-lighted picture vs. what I posted earlier. Notice the O is higher - closer to the eagle's tailfeathers:
You can compare mintmark position with this ex-Srotag 1904-O BQ PC40 with CAC sticker:
I have even another PCGS XF40 1904-O BQ where the O is farther south close between the R and D a little bit.

It was sent off to PCGS for grading in June; it returned last week in a PC AU 55 holder:
Was able to win in a Stacks auction here recently obtaining this 1908-S BQ in VF30. I will retake these auction house pictures when it arrives later this week.

Here's a new upgrade for my Barber Dime set, a 1910 D in a XF 45 holder:
For whatever reason this is a TOUGH coin to find above VG condition. It has a lower mintage of 3,490,000, but that's not one of the lower mintages. Perhaps the Denver Mint dimes just circulated and weren't saved.

Adding three coins to the Sedulous XF Registry #1. Two are upgrades to PC45. The other is a new XF40 CAC. I can't remember if I previously posted these but they were obtained in February. These are ex-100% Swede with Lenny's help.

This coin must of been struck with old worn out dies. It's a carnival of fun; I count 6 die chips and 2 die cracks on the OBV and 1 die chip and 2 die cracks on the REV. See if you can find them all! Let me know if you find more....

Guys, I am trying to fill a couple of albums and I am getting down to the final few coins. Hopefully, someone here can help out. Here is what I am looking for.....
Barber Quarter: VF/XF: 92S, 93S
Barber Dime: AG/G+(As problem free as possible): 92O, 92S, 93O, 93S, 95, 95O, 96O, 96S, 97O, 01S, 03S
It is common to find a 1916-D Barber Quarter. These are mostly AU to Unc. when found. It was a little more challenging to find in respectable XF though.

FUGGLY!
(wouldn't Darrell be surprised if it has a + grade?)
If it does I'm done!

A newp to add to the stash
Looks like 45 material to me- nice!
Yes I agree not any luster to garner an AU grade...
I took a chance on a bad photo of the coin and came out pleased with it

erwindoc - you've set the bar very high with your 1898.

I don't own the coin, I just have the photo. Similar to @erwindoc 's. I wonder where it is now?
I like that one too!
A little bit more difficult than the one with a "D". Trying for a quality look in these mid-grade quarters...

So many nice dimes and quarters. Even nickels.
Halves are still my favorite.
