Jeff - Thanks, the spare 1913 belongs to Paesan and may well be available. And I agree, my personal collecting practice has to been to spend my money on coins not grading fees, as much as possible.
Darrell - It certainly is the luck of the draw, isn't it?
Mike - Very glad to hear that we may have a returnee. Welcome, Tom, hope some posts may be in the offing. And congrats on the newps Mike.
Pics for this AM, the coin that allowed Doug and I to make each other's acquaintances, and now a newp in Paesan's Stash, now PC58:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Justin, I handled the sale of Tom's halves a few years ago. I didn't keep those records ...after I sold all I could, I remembered consigning them to auction. You might have gotten your 01-O from me. I bought a few of his coins as well.
That 06-O Quarter ( ex: Doug, Vern ) now resides with Paesan and is a wonderful coin; love the look. I did some reading out of the newer Bowers book on Barbers... He mentioned that the 06-O Quarter is hands down the worst struck date among all the Quarters ! Usually flat OBV strikes. That one that Lenny just received from our Mid-Western Guys, is surely then, an exception, as its a good strike.
Last week, I spotted a 1903-S Dime in PCGS 55 on Vic & Sherri Bozarth's web site. Considering I have been hunting for an AU since 1996, I saw one for sale. I called them, left a voice mail, I emailed them ... Only to receive the bad news that they sold it at Baltimore. I was crushed. My first set had a MS 63 or so... My current set has a decent XF 40. I just wanted a nice AU. I saw on Collectors Corner at PCGS - that Liz of JJ Teaparty had one in AU 55.... I called her immediately... I was so excited, I missed the "Details" in the description. Crushed, again !!
Well today, I got a call from Liz, seems she now had another 03-S Dime, also in AU 55 - and - not a Details Graded one. I said...whoa, whoa, how many 03-S's are floating around ? I asked for the serial number, and well, it seems that Liz had bought the Bozarth coin. Needless to say, It's finally coming to Florida. I'm as excited at getting this as I was about my new 09-O AU 58 Quarter.
This leaves just one Dime under AU 50 in my collection - and I spotted its replacement - but Vern needs to eye ball it for me. If I do get the one Vern's previewing for me, I can devote my energies to my "Low Man on the Totem Pole Proof Barber Dime Collection."
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Yes, that's the one. You forgot a 1 on the end. Everytime I buy a half in a prongless holder I check to see if it came out of one the collections that were assembled and retired. That's the only one I have been able to trace so far. Mike, I bought it from David Kahn last year, so it must have traveled a little since you sold it.
This reminded me of something a dealer told me a few years ago. I can't remember specifics, but it was a show in Maryland. I want to say Timonium 2012 or '13 but it could have been a few others. Anyways, I stop at a dealers table, a guy I have seen at quite a few shows before but never really spoke with. He asked what I was looking for and I said mid-grade Barber Half dollars. He chuckled a bit and said he remembered a guy that used to have a PCGS set of well matched halves but was not sure what had happened to it. I assume it must have been your set given the proximity of the coin show to the location in your set name. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I always was curious if it was indeed your set.
Mike - Glad the 03-S dime ultimately made it your way. Looking forward to Central States.
Tom - Any particular reason why you kept those 3?
Pics for this AM, at a local show Sunday, a barber collector whose acquaintance I've only recently made, showed me his 04-O half. It was the virtual twin to mine, and was certainly nicer than anything on the floor for sale. Here's my PC45:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Logpotato----I displayed my set at the New Market MD coin show several years back.
Barberkeys---I'll dig up some pics of those three with an explanation in the next few days. That is a REAL nice 04-O! They are hard to find with a decent strike.
I picked this dime up earlier this year and it finally made it under Phil's lens. It is too much for my Everyman Collection, just thought that I would share before it goes off to market.

Vern-if I understand you right, nice downgrade.
oih82w8- beautiful dime, fantastic color.
I've stashed away some Barber buying money for the upcoming Central States show, I have a question about the registry. Is there a printout available showing the points per coin/grade. I know I can do a "What If" and check the points but would be nice not to take all that time.

Yes, there are Set Compositions (points) for each Registry Set, here is the Barber Dime with Varieties Set link, not exactly points per grade, but points per date/mm (and variety if applicable);
Sure appreciate it, that helps out a lot, hope to be able to find a nice AU half at the show. I know there will be a few at JJ Teaparty's table, but usually have a tough time finding one I like. Have to hit ebay when I get back.
Vern: My new 58 from Paesan replaces my 62 - Its been to consigned to the gals at JJ Teaparty.
Its a nice lusterous coin - as is the 58 - but unless its got tons of nice toning the low end MS are just pleasant coins. The 58's are [for the most part ] more compatible in my set.
Without letting the cat out of the bag too early - guess not as I just posted the 13-P in 58 .... here is my newp / dupe from "Dude"....also a 58 - CAC

Above is the link to some photos I promised to post as well as a few other pieces. I was asked why I kept the 92-O, 02-O and 07 halves from my old set so here goes:
The 92-O is the best dirty one I've ever seen. I got it as an NGC XF40 and it crossed to XF45. I simply love it!
The 02-O came about when my ex-wife had her gallbladder and appendix removed. I got her home and tucked her in and logged on to Ebay and there it was---raw from John Franklin Coins. It had only been listed for about ten minutes. Timing is everything they say. Every time I look at it, I remember her writhing in pain. Oh the memories
The 07 just has a fantastic look IMHO, and besides, I bought it from MFH and he's never getting it back! Go ahead Mike, beg all you want.
A handful of lovely circs, Tom. Maybe l'll see you at some of the local shows in the future.
Hate to wait, gorgeous dime.
Mike, you are a barber machine.
I agreed to a purchase yesterday that I am pretty pumped about. It will probably be a couple weeks until I have it in hand. It's a date that I have never owned in any grade and I can't wait to share it.
oih8 - Wonderful eye appeal on your 1892, it should do well.
Dave - Thanks, I don't look at it as a downgrade as much as going from one coin I like to another I like a little bit better, that happens to be a lower technical grade. See you at Central States.
Mike - Very glad you like the 1896, and congrats on the newp proof dime. And the newp MS dime as well.
Tom - Your taste in the look of your coins is right up my alley, and I love the backgrounds. Thanks for sharing.
Justin - I look forward to hearing (and seeing) more about your new purchase.
Jeff - Congrats on the '15, both the acquisition and the grading.
Pics for this AM, in follow-up to Mike's and my comments about Jon Rosenthal, this is one of the few coins left from Doug's barber qtr collection, and it came from Jon. An under-rated date IMO, PC 58:
Interestingly, my 13-D also came from Jon and is also PC58. I like the look of mine just a tad better, but I'm sure that's just in the eye of the beholder . Any thoughts?
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Vern... I think I like the second 13-D you posted a bit more. I picked up my AU 58 from Chris Dudzik, Manorcourtman, who mentioned that he hadn't seen another 13-D in 58 sold at auction in years. I'll edit this later with mine.

Justin- the suspense is killing me, need to see a pic.
I found that 1892 10C while surfing around looking for a nice AU58 example for Everyman Collection and I noticed the date and sure enough...RPD FS-302! This MS64 is only the second one attributed through PCGS and guess who has the other (AU53)...DIMEMAN.

Dave-
I'm glad Mike wasn't sitting at the grading table when my '15 Half came through. In the picture the toning patterns look a bit like wear; perhaps that what Mike's thinking?
I picked up a 1912 S Liberty Nickel graded AU 58 by PCGS earlier this week from David Kahn (a great coin dealer). It even came with a green bean:
This replaces the F 12 in my set; a nice move up. It will never get the coveted plus, but I think it's a nice coin for the grade.
Thanks to those who expressed thoughts on the two 13-D's.
Jeff - Congrats on the 12-S newp. Reverse strike is pretty decent, much better than typical.
Justin - Good looking 92-O newp, congrats.

OIH82W8 - I also have been hunting for an 1892 Dime - Phila - in 58 for the exact same reason. Tough buggers to find, aren't they ??!!
Justin - nice 92-O in F12 -
DaveN - same for your 95-O - its every bit a VF 20.
Vern - That 01-S is the perfect VG 10 - nice and meaty.
DimeMan - Jon - What 97-S Dime are you thinking of ? My only one was from a Stacks .............purchase in 11/12............I just had it reholdered is all. New serial number as it was originally in my All Time Finest set - sold in August, 2011 - and repurchased in 11/12. I couldn't add it to my sets because of the old serial number - so - I had it reholdered with a new number...not regarded.

Jeff - I still like that 1915 as a 55 - guess you're right - I shouldn't be in the Grading Room when your submissions arrive... at least some, anyhow !! LOL If it makes you feel any better, I like your 1915 a lot more than I like mine !! { Darrell said he didn't like mine at all... ;o
My XF 40 fits in just fine in the latest set... My 1915-P in PCGS 64 is up at auction at Central States with Heritage - its a beauty - and now its CAC.

I meant no jab at all.... Stated a fact that you were not anomored with my 1915 in 40.... That's all... No harm done .... How was your show in Dalton ?
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike! The jab was at you for grading Justin's 92-O a 12! Dalton was a wee bit slow. Lottsa folks but patiently waiting to see what the economy is going to do after this fall IMHO.
Justin- I really have problems with understanding how the slabs get graded the way they do, if you take your coin and place it side by side with the vf-25 example on the hosts grading site they are a dead match, I guess it's something other than detail holding it back.
When I started my interest in Barbers in 1990, that 92o would have been considered the perfect example of a Fine 15 on merit of the lower part of BER being incomplete. Even with a hairline going back above the eye. Pretty textbook. Nice tough coin, in whatever grade you choose to call it.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
Justin - I think your 92-O has the "Justin" look regardless of 15 or 20. I saw Harry's micro O on his site and will reserve comment until I see it next week at Central States (assuming it hasn't sold by then).
Pics for this AM, my friend Keith's raw 92-O. Opinions on grade?
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Originally posted by: Lucanus Vern, Keith's raw 92-O sure is a beauty! Textbook 40.
Doug
I like Keith's coin for a 45 - by the current grading standards I have seen as of late.
I also want to amend my comment I made on Justin's 92-O - I was reading about the 97-O that was just graded as a F12 - skimmed over the actual picture of the coin - as it turned out to be an 92-O .... I agree with the others about the 92-O - it's a very nice F15/VF20. Can't remember what Jeff's 1897-O looked like now.
Have not looked at HLRC web site on the 92-Micro O in VF. I know Harry consigned / sold / whatever - his AU 55 Micro O. Which really is an attractive warmly toned coin. It still may be available at JJ Teaparty...have not checked it out recently.....
Having owned three 92-Micro O's ( 55, 55, 63 ) - they are just a bit too esoteric for me.

with my 1915 in 40.... That's all... No harm done .... How was your
show in Dalton ?

Mike - Darrell must have been kidding on your '15 in 40. Wonderful XF look.

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
BTW I like your 15's!
Justin...How about a 97-O as my guess?
I also like the 2nd 13-D better!
Nope. I have a 97-O in F12. Ex Jeff and Tyler C.
But, I feel comfortable posting it now.
So that's where my old '97 O ended up! It's a nice coin for the grade.
I'm guessing you're new '92 O is in a 20 holder. Looks good!
Vern, you mentioned the Micro o. Did anyone see the VF30 Harry L. has? It has a few marks, but if I had 16k to burn, it would be here.
Dave, that's a real nice 95-O.
Mike, that's a real nice 15P.

NOBLE REGISTRY
Even with a hairline going back above the eye.
Pretty textbook.
Nice tough coin, in whatever grade you choose to call it.
Pics for this AM, my friend Keith's raw 92-O. Opinions on grade?

Vern, Keith's raw 92-O sure is a beauty! Textbook 40.

I like Keith's coin for a 45 - by the current grading standards I have seen as of late.
I also want to amend my comment I made on Justin's 92-O - I was reading about the
97-O that was just graded as a F12 - skimmed over the actual picture of the coin - as
it turned out to be an 92-O .... I agree with the others about the 92-O - it's a very nice
F15/VF20. Can't remember what Jeff's 1897-O looked like now.
Have not looked at HLRC web site on the 92-Micro O in VF. I know Harry consigned / sold /
whatever - his AU 55 Micro O. Which really is an attractive warmly toned coin. It still may
be available at JJ Teaparty...have not checked it out recently.....
Having owned three 92-Micro O's ( 55, 55, 63 ) - they are just a bit too esoteric for me.

Justin - I think your 92-O has the "Justin" look regardless of 15 or 20. I saw Harry's micro O on his site and will reserve comment until I see it next week at Central States (assuming it hasn't sold by then).

I'll bid 35.
