Here is my 1900 NGC MS64 with a green CAC sticker in an old holder. I cannot decide what to do with it? Send it in for restoration? Cross over? Any suggestions?
I would leave the coin alone. It is an original Barber quarter, with nice toning, and appropriately graded, and given a CAC sticker. It needs nothing other than to be enjoyed.
Here one of my 1900 S Barber Quarters that I found raw and submitted to PCGS for grading:
It came back in an AU Details- Scratched holder.
I was a bit surprised by the details holder; the scratch is difficult to see but does span across the entire head. It's tough to predict how the graders will respond.
A bit nitpicky if you ask me. The cut is minimally thin. The scratch going from the field under star 6 through the cap might have done it for the larger contribution to the overall scratch.

Thanks! I took a chance on this one because the GC picture made it look kind of flat/dipped so I was hoping it was more like the TrueView. It is indeed like the trueview and not so much this:

Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
One of Mike's favorite Barber Half was the 1904--S. I believe this was his coin that was auctioned by HA prior to his passing.
This is in memory of you my friend:
On a lark I picked this up yesterday at the flea market for $20.
Obverse after I put it in a new holder, sorry its so blurry.
Thanks Sedulous, I am pretty sure it is the inverted mintmark, tbh I didn't even know that it was a thing until I looked it up. However I will wait for the experts to confirm.

Yep, upside down “S”. Great buy for $20!
Here’s one of my 1909 S inverted MM Halves with the other known MM position:
Wow, mesmerizing color on the reverse the Jeff, thanks for sharing!
Let varieties@barbercoins.org know if anyone discovers more varieties on their Barber coins (or just has a question about what they have). Much appreciated Jeff for your confirmation!

If they do I wonder how much it was
I don't understand the question (not that I can answer it)?
I think (correct me if I am wrong @Redglobe) the value gain from an AU50 to an AU53 - is it significant enough that PCGS has a system to take a cut in the gained funds? is that somewhat the question?
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
A while back I sent a batch of cards into PSA,after a few months I got an email letting me know the advancement of my cards (as well with coins) then it seemed after a couple of weeks,maybe another month I received another email stating that they were going to charge my Credit Card (upcharge) because one certain card got a better grade than I anticipated.I sent them at a members special price.
I guess I didn't realize it was a crossover not a regular submission.
I guess the difference with cards is that they have tiers that are set to a threshold of say $200 if your card goes over a certain grade then it will be higher than the $200 limit hence the up charge within the fee.
I've sent a few coins in and there isn't any price threshold in any fee structure,it least to my knowledge.
@redglobe- PCGS does have several price tiers for coins of increasing value. If you submit a coin at the $300 max. price level you must place a $300 max. value on it. At their discretion, PCGS can bump the coin to a higher price (fee) tier. This happens, but they do let coins of lower value slip through (usually).
@JeffMTampa Jeff, "My stash also includes an AU 53 with the same MM position as Tim's"... does yours have the same maturity of die cracks that mine does? Focusing in on the reverse lettering above TATE in STATES, for example, curious how developed your cracks are on your specimen for that and other areas.

I pulled this one out of an NGC 62 holder.
Here is mine... after a long-time searching for it! Slightly larger O, slightly left and up from Jeff's '06-O. Mine here has some cracks near the mintmark. Basically you see a lot of different die cracks between lettering and dentils around the whole reverse periphery. 1906-O Barber Quarter PCGS AU58 Old Holder:

Moving the thread. Love the quality of this half dollar. Have a great week!

Yep, that Half is a “keeper “.
Just picked this one up for my type set. Missed out on my first choice so this was the consolation prize (MS63):
That is one solid half dollar. I like it a lot. Congratulations on a very nice pick-up!

@Bolo - that looks nicer than a 63!

Probably saved me some money at auction.

Sweet! @PClark99 ..... is that an Inverse Mintmark? Let me ask the expert... @JeffMTampa
Cool variety Jeff?

Yep, upside down “S”. Great buy for $20!

Well! That increases the scarcity a bit and now has a value more than the $20 paid by a Longshot! Awesome!

1901-S Barber Quarter, from NGC AU50 for the longest time to PCGS AU53 and finally to CAC.
So tough in AU... whoa! Congratulations on the successful crossover!

I don't understand the question (not that I can answer it)?
Let's advance this thread. I've likely posted this coin before, but hopefully it's been a whille:
A lower mintage, but "heavily" saved.

Beautiful coin Jeff. '92-O in 58 doesn't come easy!

PCGS doesn't charge a premium fee on crossover upgrades, if that's the question.

@mikee999 The '99-P quarter... MS64?

it’s an AU58
AU 58 Quarter- nice!

I finally have the center-mintmarked 1893-S Barber Quarter with this new arrival:

@sedulous- that's a great looking coin!
Here's my 1893 S BQ with a Center MM:
The MM is positioned differently on mine; there are at least 2 center "S" dies for the year. This one appears to have an RPM.
My stash also include an AU 53 with the same MM position as Tim's
Really sweet Jeffry.
