Two new purchases

First coin is a 1803 Lg Cent I bought from a shop I had never visited before. Small date/Small Fraction. The color is a nice chocolate brown, not the light odd brown in the photos, my photography skills stink. I don't think it was a bad purchase at $35,

2nd coin is a 1908-O Barber quarter in a small ANACS slab, I really liked the look of the coin when I saw it. Can you guess the grade? will post later.

    An album toned coin in old ANACS holder is always a nice find.
    I'd say MS64

    My guess is 62 for the Barber.

    Congrats on your new coins!

    I like them both very much, are they part of a type set?

    62/63 on the quarter, if it's in a 58 slab you likely got a great deal.. good or so on the cent and how can you go wrong. nice pick ups

    By virtue of the whole period of barber coinage and their look, I don't like the design.
    However, that is a nice looking one and would look good in most any collection.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I like both coins. Don't know large cents, but the Barber looks 58 to me.
  • lasvegasteddylasvegasteddy Posts: 10,432 ✭✭✭
    i'd think the large cent would genuine...probably g4-ish
    the barber
    hmmm
    old small anacs...probably 62/63

    The quarter was graded MS 62. I think it would have been a 64, except between Liberty's nostril and cheek there is a abrasion, the third obverse pic shows it good. You have to turn it just right to see the mark in the light. The reverse is great, just that mark on the obverse holds it back. The large cent I figured would G4, has nice brown color I just could not capture it. Thanks for the compliments.

    Dimeman, where do you see rub ?
    It's nicer than a 63, IMHO, but not
    as nice as a 65, so, it's a 64. Love it.

    Know zilch about Bust Cent... G4 ?

    Mike, there's rub everywhere, can't you see it image
  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,852 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice look on the Barber. The little abrasion isn't all that bad. Why not 64?
  • sparky64sparky64 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like both. Nice pickups.
    I would have guessed 63 on the Barber.
    I would not have argued had you said 64. image
