The Phila issue was once in another set of mine - one of the "All Time Finest Sets" - a few years after I sold it, I repurchased it so I could include it in this collection. It seems I can't do that without taking down my older retired set.

It's a long story, but, when this website allows me to gain access again, I will , be able to add these beautiful images directly into my Registry Sets ( as well as my EVERYMAN sets ) .
Every so often, I try and gain access and some of the times, it's not a problem. After I posted all the images , I tried to send a PM to the Photographer, but the system crashed (again) so, I just gave up.
Believe me, posting images on this site has become an impossible task. Once I receive the CD for my new images, I'll try and add them to my sets. Most of the sets have some sort of image already. These will have to suffice until I can get the newer images attached.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Just a word: I finally played with mirrors and got all the Quarter and Half Dollar images up on my Registry sets.
Don't even think of asking for a link. It took me hours to get them into the PCGS site - as I still have no direct access to the site on my Lap Top. I did what I could on my iPad !
Thanks to Valente151 for imaging the coins.

A new Barber 50C purchase arrived in the mail today:
"Blundered", what's that?
Wow, this coin looks bizzaro!
It looks like the extra metal filling the face there wasn't enough to fill the high points on the coin. I'm curious what PCGS would do with this coin raw. Thoughts?
The coin is so freaky I'm uncertain if it's way cool or a mess. There must be others out there; isn't this a die problem (and a planchet that's too hard)?
The 1908-O is the Queen of the Mumps Variety. It's very common placed to see this type on this date. Dave Lawrence mentions it in his book. So, I think the graders are aware of it and won't degrade your ICG 58. ( At least for that specific reason ) .... somewhere along the way, I also had an AU, a 53 it's just a fond memory now !
Valente151 has been working on my Quarter Dansco Type Virtual Album. He's not ready to publish it, as he needs to crop some of the images that were not his. Guess he didn't realize he bit off more than he thought. I took a sneak peek & it's coming along very nicely.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Jeff - That's a bad case of mumps! I know I've never seen one that bad. And if Darrell never saw on that bad, it's bad!
Vern - That 03-O quarter is about as perfect as it gets for quarters (for me). Maybe a touch darker. The 03-P looks to be nice, but also in need of an acetone soak.
Mike - Great looking half set. I've never seen that 05-O before. Is that a recent coin? Looking forward to the albums.
Here's a coin I don't think I've posted before. I bought this from Dave99B last year in an old ANACS holder. He'd probably kick my butt for cracking it out. Not a tough date, but very nice. Credit to Jeff for the photo.
I don't know why, but I found myself on the site via my lap top tonight. I got an email that LogPotato had posted a reply on the Barber Thread. so I clicked on to the link... and " Voila !! "
How log the system will allow me access is anyone's guess.
Now, I get to see what the Barber Quarter Virtual Album looks like.
EDIT: Forget about it - I can only get on the Message Boards - NO PM's - No Main Site No Registry Sets ...

Valente151 was missing single shots of a few Quarters:
Wrong 08-O
Now, I have no idea if this is my coin currently - or not !! TOO MANY IMAGES !!!!!
Wrong 00-O
I know for a fact that this 05-O is in my set - I bought it back a year or so after I sold it ! I just can't register it - its in my All Time Finest Set !
I am looking for another half dozen.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I have a Sony Vaio - lap top. I access the boards easily now. { I grab the link I receive when someone posts on the Mega Thread } - or any thread I am following [ ie: Seated]
My computer is telling me the problem lies at PCGS.
These most recent images I have posted from my Photobucket account. As long as I can deal with this back door situation - I'll be able to post images ... unless the whole thing goes down the Crapper.
Yes, I think Valente151 [ who you met at FUN with me ] has done a bang up job. I'll be sure to pass on your compliments.
I think I mentioned that I bought back a few of my old Halves:
I know where the 1898-S is - and I can have it back - once my friend Srotag upgrades the 65 with a 66 or better.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike - Yes, it's is a National Album, from Wayte Raymond. And your digital album looks wonderful, your 09-S kills. What a great bonus PCGS has given us with the digital album.
Pics for this AM, my 09-S formerly Paesan's, PC64:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Justin - '93-S has just the right look, so tough to find nice, IMO.
Mike - Wonderful looking '09 dime. I'll guess 64, limited by the light slice on the portrait (all that stuff in the fields is die polish, I'm assuming).
Pics for this AM, just back in Paesan's Stash, a successful reconsideration, PC58+ (pics don't do it justice):
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Darrell - Since those 07-S's are yours, I'm figuriing one of them is a 58, so I'll guess our hosts called the white one a 58, and the toned one with the RPM a 55.
Mike - My friend Glen was a serious underbidder on your wonderful 07-S in 58, when HA auctioned your collection in 2011. It was a superb coin IMO.
Pics for this AM, from Doug's collection, PC53:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
The night before my auction in August, 2011, I was with Glenn Holsonbake and I was checking the status of my lots. I was dumbfounded as to the amount of the current bid ( just under $4000 ) and asked Glenn, what did he think a 1907-S Half was worth in AU 58 ? Can't remember exactly his answer, but it was nowhere near the price it had already attained.
As you remember, you and your friends were sitting directly behind me during the auction ( thank you and your friends for your bids ) but who ever bid the 1907-S/s Half to $5,000 ( plus juice = $5,750 ) absolutely floored me. Having Todd Pollock image my coins prior to the auction and my posting them here was very beficial. Otherwise, the amount of the spread of the S MM would not have been noticed - as the PCGS label had no designation on it. The Heritage cataloguer would just as easily have missed it.
I know your friend, Glen M., was the winner of my duplicate 1893/2 Dime in 58. I have his picture of him holding the coin at the ANA in 2011. I am also very happy that you chose him to sell my 13-S Quarter (55) to last year. It's always good to know where my ladies are hiding these days. Lol
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I kindda figured my pictures would cause the grades thought! Unfortunately my pic's of the S/S don't really show the luster beamimng through the sinfully original skin on this coin! I actually had to put my money where my mouth is to save this coin from the hammer! This coin could easily end up in a 62 holder!
Now I have a dilmea. I have all the varities except the micro O in AU. I almost purchase the 1 Labstein has now when it was in a 53 holder for almost 5 figures less than he is asking but just couldn't justify the price. It passed through at least 2 other dealers before he ended up with it. My bank account tells me I need to sell my 55. My collection tells me to keep my 55 since it isn't an S/S. I have tried the coin 2 times trying to get it in a 58 holder. I also think the right person could get it in a 58 holder. I might try it one more time as the 2 times I tried it was through reconsideration without the coin being cracked out.
Now here is some real food for thought! Where are all the 07-S Barber Half's graded AU? Looking in coin facts you will see it has the least appearances in AU at auction of any date in the series aside from the micro O! There have only been 2 50's(a 3rd is a cleaned details),1 53, and Mike's 58 auctioned as far back as coin facts records go.
Mike, I have absolutely no doubt if your 58 sold today at auction it would sail past the 5 figure mark!
Jeff, Don't think the 03 will get to surf city. I sent in 10 coins for recon and only one got the nod, so it was an expensize (and foolish) upgrade in my eyes and I'm now married to the coin.
I've been looking for an AU '07 S Half for about 4 years now. Although I've seen a few cleaned/ damaged examples I haven't seen a single coin that would grade, be it raw or in a TPG slab.

Let me get this straight :
Posting images here can only be done via my lap top.
( Which, again, the PCGS website does not allow me to do. )
Posting images thru my iPad is close to a nightmare.
Valente151 is pretty close to hitting the nail on the
head. It's beyond exasperating.
He's volunteered to put together these Danscoesque
albums. Have at it, Mike V., I'm done trying.

Mike - I think the eye appeal of your 07-S in 58 drove it to that price, with the RPM just being incidental.
