Two new purchases

SilverBlind · December 18, 2014 7:26AM

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.

Thanks for looking, David

My guess is ms63 on barber - both nice

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

Catbert · December 18, 2014 7:46AM

My guess is 62 for the Barber.

Congrats on your new coins!

I'll say 63 but need to send it to me for a better look!

I love the look of the barber and I'll say its an ms64

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 like both coins. Don't know large cents, but the Barber looks 58 to me.

lasvegasteddy · December 18, 2014 9:53AM

i'd think the large cent would genuine...probably g4-ish
the barber
hmmm
old small anacs...probably 62/63

Thanks, They were not part of a type set.

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.

Nice Barber... I would have said 63..Cheers, RickO

i love the large cent

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

BryceM · December 19, 2014 11:54PM

Nice look on the Barber. The little abrasion isn't all that bad. Why not 64?

sparky64 · December 20, 2014 12:01AM

I like both. Nice pickups.
I would have guessed 63 on the Barber.
I would not have argued had you said 64.
