Congrats on the pick up! This one was part of my set until I upgraded last year. Glad she found a good home - she’s a beauty and as you know these photos don’t fully capture what a vibrant gem this is. Good catch on the RPD!

Just won this last night on ebay. PCGS55 1906-S Dime with a little something extra in the MM. Had to step up big for this.
Was I bidding against any of the Barber nuts out here.
Seems like choice AU prices can be all over the map when a nice specimen is involved and there's a big jump between 55 and 58 list price, as there was here.
The pop for AU58 1906-S dimes is in the single digits with the total pop across all grades on the lower end (9 in AU58, 178 in All Grades)... of the entire Barber series... not just dimes. Remember, no '06-S quarters either. The half is somewhat closer to the middle of the road at (15 in AU 58, 360 in All Grades) but finding a quality coin for an '06-S dime in high AU is something to grab. Also interesting to note that FS-301 does not look like Jon's coin either. Jon's is more dramatic IMO.

The 14 Half is a 58 from the pictures but is in the bottom 1/3 IMHO.
The 97-S quarter is what is it is. A nice 45!
I realize you go through many more halves than most of us on this thread. What characteristics would you explicitly describe on Jeff's '14-P half you feel would make it lower 1/3rd?

David Lawrence mentions #101 0/0 and #102 9/9 for 1901-O, but neither of them are this one. The coin is also Obverse I, which I believe is an undocumented transition variety for any 1901 dime (and why I bought it, didn't see the RPD until later). Everything after 1900 was supposed to be Obverse II. Probably best for another thread sometime.

For the heck of it here's my '02 O Quarter:
It came out of a NGC AU 58 holder.
Better than it graded from an overall quality perspective Jeff. Did you CAC it?
No, I didn't send it to CAC. Almost all the coins I own with CAC stickers came that way.
I don't send coins in for CAC. First, I'm not a member. I did send about 12 Halves in through Mike Hayes (about 4 months prior to his passing). As I recall only 4 of the 12 stickered. I sent in pricy stuff and the insurance costs were very high.
CAC is not important to me; it's like ratings on a wine by a critic. A collector should be able to tell if they like the coin or not, just like I don't need a wine critic to tell me if a wine is good or not. But that's just me.....

I guess that would be true if you don't ever plan to sell stuff. I don't have experience selling CAC, really, but I hear higher valuations are associated if you do. Tim

Tim- Your comments are definitely common opinion. I've sold a lot of Barbers over the last few years- most due to upgrades. Most were PCGS straight grades, some CAC, but most not. I really didn't see a pattern of CAC selling for more, but nice coins certainly sold for more. Obviously my experience is limited and could very well change. In 10years when it's time to sell I may need to re-evaluate.

At only 14.50 a coin (and then only if they CAC) you may want to reconsider. Who knows what the CAC model will look like in 10 years
May not be an option when you want them

1901-O dime. I was told on another forum that this 1/1 RPD might be new. The 9 and 0 are possibly RPD as well.
Neat RPD. I have never seen a 1901-O RPD.
When I saw this brought to the thread, I thought you might like it Jon. I know you have others unlisted... have you made efforts before to get those dimes recognized? and who or where do you go to start that process?

For what its worth, I contacted ANACS about my coin, thinking it might be cool to have a slabbed "discovery" coin. Here is their response:
"ANACS does not make discoveries. You will need to send the coin to an outside party such as Wexler or Wiles for the discovery to be published and then we will be more than happy to label the coin as "Discovery". The contact information for the two above can be found on money.org"
James Wiles is the CONECA/Variety Vista guy, Wexler is doubleddie.com. Unless I'm blind, Wexler shows only one, a 1907 Barber dime RPD (no other Barber denominations), and CONECA/Variety Vista has a few dimes under "19th Century & Misc" but they're all RPMs. I know there's a lot more than this so it didn't instill confidence as far as paying somebody to attribute, so I dropped it. Is there another resource?
I have an article in the current BCCS journal on "discovering" a third reverse hub type and two other transition year varieties (in addition to the 1901-O posted above). It seems like Barber dimes have not received the attention or online resources that they perhaps deserve, if somebody like me (numismatist wannabe) can "discover" an undocumented reverse...

This is my latest addition. Graded as a 40 but has lots of luster for the grade I think.

Nice enough for filling up an Everyman set though

Jeff that one looks perfectly graded doesn't it? I like it.
Here's my latest addition to my graded set.
Spectacular 97-S. That is a once in a lifetime coin IMO. Looks AU to me.
Totally agree on above coin,looks like some luster on the reverse to warrant a 50 grade.
I would love to own it.
Nice 14-P Half Jeff.
Nice 97-S Quarter ARCO.
Both very tuff dates.
I don't want to be the party pooper!
The 14 Half is a 58 from the pictures but is in the bottom 1/3 IMHO.
The 97-S quarter is what is it is. A nice 45!
I forgot to mention the 14-S Quarter, which is another tuff coin.
The pop for AU58 1906-S dimes is in the single digits with the total pop across all grades on the lower end (9 in AU58, 178 in All Grades)... of the entire Barber series... not just dimes. Remember, no '06-S quarters either.

To keep this on the first page- I'm waiting on this one to join my collection:
The 97-S Dime looks like Machine Doubling, but the 07-S Quarter is definitely a RPM.
And that's a nice 02-O Quarter.
1901-O dime. I was told on another forum that this 1/1 RPD might be new. The 9 and 0 are possibly RPD as well.
It is a middle of the road date you will be proud to own when a nice coin like yours Jed @jedm shows up.
