I had to redo this photo. The TV wasn't even close. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Here is the TV.

Seems like the TV is pretty good?—yours has more direct light but seems to wash things out a bit. Nice date/mint nonetheless. 🤓

The coin is silver in color like my pic not grey in the TV. My photo is what the coin looks like in hand.

Here is a better redo.

Nice!

Another very nice coin.

Wow the TV view really hides a lot of stuff interesting

SeattleSlammer · May 3, 2020 1:36PM

I do like your second pic best..seems the better balance of color/lighting. 😀

That is a very nice example of the 1913-S. If you recall, the 1913-S was promoted for many years (1990s and into the early 2000s) by a writer in Numismatic News. As a result, there are large hoards of the date still out there though most are in the lower circulated grades. A member of my coin club was one of the hoarders though I don't recall how many he had. The writer retired at least ten years ago so the promotion of that date has had time to fade from memory.

WOW !!! Very impressive. That's all I can say.

There's a guy in the Barber Club if I'm not mistaken that has around 600 of them!

They are not that rare in low grades. But xf and better they are hard to find. I would like a 63 someday for my set.

Really interesting... Three pictures and totally different effects....Of the three, I prefer the third...Your photographic skills are impressive Jon....Cheers, RickO

I recall the writer, and read his weekly reports.

When he started writing about them a Good was less than $5. When he stopped they had passed $20 in Good.

The Barber club guy with 600 is a clear winner, depending on his cost, I stopped at about 24 of them.
My two best are VF-20's.
I never found a nice high grade that I liked. But I looked.

But just how do you get rid of 600 1913-S Barber Dimes without depressing the market back to where it should be?

you can't dispose of them without effecting the market, at least not in one year.

Unless you go wholesale to a big dealer

There is no way even a "big dealer" is going to be willing to buy that kind of quantity unless they are heavily discounted.
