Went to the MOON show in the Twin Cities Saturday.
After countless years of saving and searching for the best coin for me, I purchased
an 1901-S Barber Quarter in PCGS VG8. I was hoping for a G4, maybe G6.
But I couldn't pass it up.
Absolutely, no regrets.
Sorry about the picks. Something I'm working on

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

If it’s a gold shield, it probably has one. Even some non gold shield have them so it’s always a nice idea to check your cert number

Nice
Congrats @AstroJoe ...... I always like the Baber
Love freebies like this!
Congrats on the purchase! I am working on the set and realize this is one Ill be saving for a LONG time to get!
Neat coin brings back a lot of memories: (I like the amount of liberty still visible on this one)
First one I ever bought was a pcgs G-6, then upgraded to a pcgs f-12 (the old green one shown on here over the years)
and now the one I have now. (that several love ,and some don't)
Wow, I just looked up the cert number and even as a very solid VG, there are only 134 that have been graded any higher at PCGS! I bet even some of those are crack outs! NGC has graded a mere 20 at that level with only 42 graded higher!!
Nice old Barber.... How was the rest of the show?? Cheers, RickO
Awesome....it’s such a good feeling when you finally find ‘the coin’ after many years of searching. Looks like a nice strong example of a VG8, which are damn hard to locate. Congrats. So, are you working on a full quarter set?

Congratulations! Nice looking with honest wear. Is this your last hole that needed filled in your Barber quarter set?
Thanks for the comments.
I am very, very happy.
This was the last Barber coin needed for a complete business strike of
the Barber dimes, quarters, and halves.
Took me many years and lots of saving to complete.
The rest of the show was good picked up some earlier slabbed MS Lincolns.
Everything is all right!
Very nice pickup indeed! It's a coin I'm missing for my Complete Everyman's Barber set.
That 01-S is very nice!
Nice score on a touch key date. The reverse, in my opinion, is closer to vg10 while a lack of laurel detail on the obverse seems to keeps it at a vg8. Beautiful!
