I followed my gut.

I do not usually collect Barber material except for circulated stuff in my dansco albums, and a handful of nicer examples that have caught my eye over the years. I am a Morgan fella, through and through, although I must admit that I have been dabbling more in US type in recent months. I saw a coin that caught my eye on eBay, a 1910 Barber Quarter, NGC PF65 CAC. Looking through the sellers pictures, I thought it had potential, so I placed it onto my watch list, and messaged the seller. His BIN price was too rich for my blood, so I bid on it.

I then did some pricing research, and found some pictures from an earlier sale of the coin, along with a high hammer price, that hinted it could be something truly special. I pondered for a day or two, and decided to make a run at it. I came up with a max bid. I bided my time, took my shot with 6 seconds left in the auction, and won it for well north of 20% under my max bid.

I drop shipped it to my favorite photographer who received it today, and gushed over it.

I guess blind squirrels do find a nut once in a while. With no further ado, here are the images he provided me.
