This 1904 is an upgrade to my set. She's got the look in hand that really makes her look totally original with nice luster evident, especially on the reverse. Thank you Lenny!

@jedm I actually like that date from Philadelphia. Surprisingly elusive. Your coin is very, very pretty. Lenny does a great job locating nice coins @paesan. Lots of experience with Barbers... he even wrote an article on BQ's years ago that was accepted as the main article for CDN Monthly. So he has seen a lot of coins and knows what to look for.

@jedm said: @sedulous - Barbie approved the clashed AU-58? Those are some great examples of the wandering O Tim!
Thanks Jed, how fun! I decided to re-image the centered O... much better here:
@jedm yes,I see the clash but it is not as pronounced. Why PCGS recognizes the 1892-O quarter and not the 1893-O baffles me. Both are equally prominent on specimens.

1912-S Barber Quarter in XF45. Moving the thread... shown this one earlier but just reimaged. Have one in VF25 and AU58. This one has helped my XF45-focused set.
I hope all of you have a nice Thanksgiving. See you at Winter FUN 2024 in early January at the BCCS booth... stop by and say "hi"...
p.s. if you have any coins you want me to bring that you have noticed on this thread or... bring your own for photographing like my image here. I plan to bring my set-up.

Did no price research on it just liked the look and want it. Last second bid a couple hundred over current bid and it is add to the collection. Might be buried don’t care.
Anyone have nice Philippine Hoard dates? Recently re-imaged this one... it is special: the only XF45+ and the only one with CAC sticker out of all XF45's:

@Willy that is a nice looking dime and I like it even more as a '93-P dated specimen!
@jedm the '93-O is good looking for that grade level. Perhaps it would be F12 as a PCGS or CACG crossover ( @fastfreddie ) ... but as good looking as that coin is I would have made the same pick-up.

Is this the first time you won an auction from them? Do they send an invoice or do you have to contact them?
Yes I did win a coin and I can't wait to get it also
I bid on a single coin in the GFRC Auction and was fortunate to win it. I've been putting together a 1900 Barber Quarter Hub Variety set over the last few years. There are six potential combinations from each mint, the Type I, II, and III OBV hubs paired with the Type II and III REV hubs. The Philadelphia mint has 5 combinations known (the III/II combination is unknown), The New Orleans mint has 5 known combinations (the II/ II is unknown), and San Francisco has 4 known combinations (the Type III OBV is unknown).
The coin I won at the Auction is a 1900 O with the Type III OBV and Type II REV. It's a PCGS AU 53, and upgrades my VF 30:
This hub combination is one of the rare ones- hard to find. In three years of searching this is the nicest example I could find.
The 1900-O was a coin that I purchased through Lenny. Made $6 profit on it after Gerry’s fees. Theses were the first coins I have sold since I started collecting slabbed coins. Glad you got it.
Question... I see 90% silver at a certain face value for coins like Walking Liberty Halves, Franklin Halves, Washington Quarters, Mercury Dimes, Roosevelt dimes, etc. Why do you think Barber coins are sold at a "premium" vs. these other coins? because they are older? harder to come by or there is more interest? I mean we are talking this is simply 90 here, right?

@jedm Jed, a tougher Philly date. It took me awhile to find one decent enough from my own diligent searching (a lot of cleaned pieces out there). Glad you got yours! Did it reach VF35? I presume not an XF40.
1916-P Barber Quarter... another one of those strangely elusive dates in mid-circulated grades:
Here is my (more recently-graded in 2023) 1908-P Barber Quarter I expected to be XF45+ but ended up AU50 by PCGS:

Thanks Tim, the '08 is graded XF-40. I wouldn't have guessed that my last one to find would be a P mint 1916. It seems that every one out there is '16 D.

With what PCGS has graded my closer-to-darkly-er toned coins, I assumed it would have knocked your grade from a 40 to a 35. Detail-wise, the grade is about right at a 40, congratulations.

Not an easy date, here is my 1897-O Barber Dime PC45 re-imaged. Do you see some doubling on "MERI" ?:

I can see what appears to be a bit of doubling on the serif of the R. Nice looking specimen.
Here is a recently arrived newp for Sedulous Set #2. A 1904-P Barber Quarter in PC30. A nice, even tone on this circulated piece:

Great look. Common date, but not looking like that. Congrats.
I finally found the right PC45 for the 1912-S BQ slot. It has been a while to locate something nice:
