Thanks for recognition, Paesan. It's one of my favorite Dimes, as well.
I decided the Raw 1898 Quarter on eBay was started at an unreasonable amount, so I did not bid. The auction expired and the coin was relisted for $10.00 less. It's another auction. Starting for a coin worth $50 less IMHO - so - I feel if you start an auction, it should be an auction. If it's a BIN, then so be it.
Now, our friend Barberkeys just posted a coin I would've been more than happy to over pay, as it were. What a beautiful coin..... Thanks for sharing.
Edit to add:
Jeff...It looks like a 53 to me. It's too nice for a 50.
Justin... That's a perfect 25 - one of the nicest 25's I've seen.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
AN old friend made it back home. I bought this with the intention of selling my 35 CAC. But now I don't know if I feel like selling it. Anyways, here it is. PC25, and about as perfect as it gets for 25 in the early dates in my opinion.
Justin-nuce to see ya post bud. And that 25 is perfect. Vern/paesan- that 06-O is stunning. Nice way to capture that look Vern. Jeff- like all of the coins you have posted. You definitely have a great eye for barbers.
My YN Photographer just posted images of Dimes and Quarters to our friend ( SROTAG ) Dime and Quarter Sets. However the images are ATS.
The Halves will be posted onto SROTAG's NGC Registry set by tomorrow evening. Please feel free to browse - you'll love the eye candy.
The 1st part of the Internet Only Auxtion at Heritage went off this evening. I got another whipping - the bruises are not as bad as before at the ANA sale. I only lost 35% this go around ! Oh, boy !!
Located a 1898 Quarter ( VF 35 ish )
and a Half ( F 15 ish ) for the Desk Holder.
Decent detail - I have a few 1898 Halves - my lowest graded one is this AU 53 but its still too nice to crack out for this Desk Collection:
Now, I'm just looking for an 1898 Nickel in XF45/ AU 50.
Here's the 1898 IHC in XF 45 [ imho ]
Thanks again, MV151 for all your help.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike - you would have done a little better on you auction if not for my stupidity, planned on buying the 1892 quarter you had on auction but waited to bid, then had a little medical incident come up that prevented me from getting back to the auction.
Justin - I will be starting my raw quarter set, vf's and xf's hope to find some as nice as your 95 half.
Vern - nice pics, post a few more of your raw quarters again.
Jeff- is say the bottom (16-S) has a 58 shot and the 16p a 55 just because I think the 16-S has more luster but it could be my eyes. Both are nice coins in any aspect.
Mike- I was an active bidder last night and got Very aggrevated because I won the 93-S quarter and sat my phone down when it closed only to look back down and see they(Heritage) reopened the lot for a late bid and I wasn't quick enough to win it so I was done I'm not sure of it was yours. .
I was bidding on the '93 S Quarter as well; I wasn't fast enough on the draw either. I did end up with the '01 and '03 S Quarters. Were those your , Mike?
Jeff those 2 you got were nice and of I had known I wouldn't have been bidding against you on the 93-S. I know it's auction but don't like costing fellow barberthreaders more $$ because we have enough competition already. Congratulations on the 2 you got.
Wow, what a group of nice posts over the weekend. I was visiting my mother in Cedar Rapids, Iowa over the weekend so I got a little behind. Back in Wisconsin now getting caught up.
Justin - your 95-S half is one great looking coin.
Jeff - Good luck with the dime submissions. You might have enough luster to get a 58 in both, let us know the results.
Mike - Your 98 half in 53 is some kind of coin. I wouldn't crack that one out either ... NOOOOO WAAAYYYYYYYYY!!
Paesan - Another stunner with your 06-O in 58. Doug's set was indeed an amazing set.
Vern - your 98 in 58 is just superior. I would also like to see some of your raw coins as well.

I noticed the reopening of the lot for the 1893-S and it closed at $280 after it opened at $240. The coin sold for a song - a bad song - as I paid $490 all in. Yet another kick in the pants.
The 1901, Jeff was not my coin. The 1903-S in AU 53, was my coin. It opened and closed at $220. and with buyers fees and delivery, it actually closed close to $270. I didn't get creamed on this deal, I paid $250. all in on that one.
Isn't this fun ? All I can say is that thank God I love the series and have enjoyed the hunt. This has been quite the experience. I still like to upgrade my AU's to 58's and I just added a nice 1904-S Dime in PCGS 58+ ( image posted previously ) and it ran me $1,235.00 as opposed to my other 04-S in 58, which I have bought and sold twice - the most recent time it ran me $643. This week, a beautifully toned 04-S Dime in PCGS 55 - sold for $340 ( once again, I paid a collector on the Forums $600.00 ).
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Dave, I hope you're okay. I know that a medical emergency can be very difficult ( at least in my age group ) . The 1892 in 55 was a nice coin, and I enjoyed it until I started picking up colorful 58's.... Seems I have five 1892 Phila Quarters in PCGS 58 - all are drop dead gorgeous. Seems I have three type ones, and two type twos. One day, these will get the axe, stay tuned, nothing is forever.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Vern- yeah that out a bad taste in my mouth because if a lot closes it should go to the highest bidder or atleast reopen for 60seconds which it was maybe 20extra. Also those 2 raw chuckles are pretty sweet. I've never bought one but thought about assembling a low grade set Vf-Xf
Vern...Thanks for sharing the circ V Nickels, as I have a fondness for them, as my Grandfather had tons of them in that approx grade. I only have a few left raw, as duplicates. Always nice seeing them.
Mark....yes, good luck with your 1905 & 05-O Quarter bids. Sorry, but they're not from my Consignmwnt.
Well, tonight, the balance of my duplicates hits the block at Heritage. I'll just watch what happens - maybe a tear or two will trickle down my cheeks - but as I mentioned before, nothing is forever, including coins as an investment. I knew I should have bought Enron stocks when I had the chance !!!
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Dave - thanks alot I love it. Now if I could only squeeze a certain 96 au dime out of a certain hoarders collection it would be a perfect pair. But that will never happen and I don't blame him
Mark...nice 1897 Dime from GC. I hope it was a true auction and not a reserved auction.
The Heritage auction was as expected, a 37% loss. At least I'm driving myself to the "Poor House" in BMW's....lol
I have an early bid in on a Seated Quarter in PCGS 65 - for my 1891 Date Set. Now, I'm praying I get out bid. I need this coin like a hole in my head ....????????????

I didn't care... I have a MS 64 ...and a couple of other 58's all in PCGS holders. It's still a great looking Dime, even though my YN called it AT and said it wouldn't cross at any grade.

At least I felt justified buying it once it actually crossed.

Vern- as usual you post photos of great looking coins. Please do me a favor and post a photo of your WORST looking coin someday so I don't feel so bad.
All is good in Tampa. There's a little flooding but no big deal. It's interesting how the media exagerates everything; seen it before. We did get a major storm roll through about 4:30 AM that woke up the entire community- it sounded like a war broke out.
Mark - I almost bid on that 05, but now I'm glad I didn't since you were interested in it. Good job.
Jeff - You know, I think your idea of posting a couple of terrible coins is a great idea. I know that speaking for myself, that maybe ... just maybe ... there were a couple I shouldn't have bought in the past, but I chalked it up to learning the hard way. Now, with that said, I don't think a guy like Vern has really acquired a bad coin in his life. I'm sure that is the case for more than one of our colleagues on the thread. Anyway, it's an interesting subject that should be fun since most of us have been there at one time or another. P.S. I'm glad things are under control for you in Florida hurricane-wise.

Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Jeff - I've had many "worst" looking coins over the years, as I've had as much of a learning curve as anyone else. As I returned to the hobby in 1988, my "worst's" happened long before I had a digital camera to record them. They're long gone I'm glad to say, usually at a loss, but with a lesson learned. My learning process continues today, but now it's by looking at lots of coins at shows and having discussions with fellow collectors (and a few dealers). I don't buy as many coins as I used to, but generally I'm pleased with the ones I do buy.
Also, glad the weather left you unscathed.
Mike - I'd hang on to that '96 dime for the duration as well.

No issues Mike. I purchased 4 PCGS Barber Quarters last week at the Heritage Auction last week; 3 of them were registered in other sets. I guess they'll eventually make their way into my set.

Vern.... Thanks for posting Milo's 1908-O Quarter - it's a nice coin !!!
