PCGS graded this one as VF25. CAC liked the coin as well. 1899-S. My favorite date and mint:

1899-O... another great date! PC20...

@sedulous I love the look of that 99-S Tim! I know you do 45s so if you ever upgrade from that one, keep me in mind ok?

JeffMTampa · February 15, 2021 11:09AM

The latest Barber in my collection:

I think it's a nice coin for a 62.

I haven't forgot Jed. I tend to grab the '99-S as a date like candy. As the '09-O in XF/AU is rare, the '99-S is rare in VF. I really love the quality of that '99-S in PC25 CAC and really would like to keep it for now Jed. Provenance was GreatCollections, a December 21, 2014 auction.

Tim, glad you like the 09-O in PC45. It's a nice coin.
Lenny, thanks for the congrats !!!

sedulous · February 15, 2021 7:48PM

Another date pair (1908-S quarter) Which one do you believe is VF35? along with the other one VF30? You don't get to answer if you have previously owned either of these two coins.

I in the planning phase to possibly part with these for an XF '08-S upgrade (will see).

sedulous · February 15, 2021 8:08PM

@jedm Jed, To add to the visual pleasantries of the PC25 '99-S in PC25, I have this PC30 '99-S in PC30:

T

jedm · February 16, 2021 6:36AM

I'd guess the first one of those '08-S is the 35 .... and Tim I don't blame you at all for wanting to keep that '99-S.

JeffMTampa · February 17, 2021 11:07AM

One of those '08 S looks familiar to me.....

Both are CAC to boot.

I just bought a rare bird or PCGS missed an added MM! A 14-S Quarter with a clear MM! 1st I've seen. What do you guys think?

I saw that on Heritage's auction ending last night. I agree, a tough get with clear mintmark. I bid on it but I am glad you got it Darrell, Congratulations.

sedulous · February 17, 2021 12:19PM

Here is my XF. Has the typical mushy S.

amwldcoin · February 17, 2021 12:49PM

Thanks, Here a 45 I have I replaced with a 58. I thought I had a picture of the 58 but I don't yet. It also has what I call the blob S MM.

JeffMTampa · February 18, 2021 10:39AM

Here's the '14 S from my set- it's semi-mushy:

PCGS VF 35

amwldcoin · February 18, 2021 12:21PM

Surprised you didn't post that up when it was discussed here earlier! Your coin makes me feel a bit better about it not being an added S. Yours is only the 2nd I have seen that is not a blob!

Darrell, We discussed the rarity of the clear S in this forum before. The (slightly) clear S is out there but it kind of is like finding a centered 1897-S... just rare, no other way to state it.

Tim

amwldcoin · February 18, 2021 5:28PM

That discussion is what put me on the hunt for one. You will notice I asked Jeff why he didn't post his then. Perhaps he missed the discussion, or didn't have it then.

Darrell- I believe the discussion you're referring to took place last summer sometime. I purchased the coin posted yesterday in October (last fall). At the time of the discussion I had this one in my collection (since sold):

PCGS F15. It's still the semi-clear MM. I didn't know it was that uncommon.

amwldcoin · February 19, 2021 9:38AM

Go scroll through the heritage archives and the like. When that discussion took place I couldn't find a 14-S quarter with a clear MM.

Interesting about those 14-S mintmarks. PC63:

sedulous · February 20, 2021 8:31PM

Thank you Jeff for the PC55 1893-O BQ with Clashed Dies pictured here. This will fit nicely next to my 1892-O BQ Clashed Dies FS-901 in PC58 (#39521460 out on CoinFacts). - Tim

Note the mintmark placement is the Far Right High O version.

I just love the coin and color.

Tim

sedulous · February 20, 2021 9:46PM

Here is my one coin with a Gold Shield that never got a digital image! never known that to happen before.

sedulous · February 21, 2021 12:47PM

Working on my picture-taking ability. How about a dime in VF. The 1901-O/Horiz.O Barber Dime PC25.

T

sedulous · February 22, 2021 4:02PM

How about a nicely circulated 1901-P Barber Half PC30...

paesan · February 22, 2021 8:29PM

Divot. Wonder how that happened?

sedulous · February 23, 2021 7:13AM

1894-O dime. New pics.

You used to own it? I am interested in any provenance on the coin. I know Milo and Lenny had their claws in on it but not much is known beyond that. Thanks so much.

Tim

paesan · February 24, 2021 3:16PM

PC-62, no divot.

One of my latest newps for the "Kingdom Collection"...

barberkeys · February 26, 2021 9:35PM

Acquired raw many years ago:

$20.50 from the year 1908.

I had to work to track down Milo's 1908-S PCGS XF40! I didn't know he sold it. Thank goodness I was successful acquiring the coin before Liz Coggan was able to sell it (at the precipice of oblivion never to be seen again!). My saving grace was that Liz didn't have a picture of the coin portrayed on her website. I have macro'd the coin here. Post-Milo, along the way the coin got CAC green beaned... gorgeous and a great addition to my XF set. Thank you Milo and Liz for the help related to info on the wherabouts!

Tim

JeffMTampa · February 28, 2021 5:37PM

Nice '08 S , Tim! Inspired me to pull out mine and make a combo Photoshop image of it:

I purchased it raw about 1 year ago. It was encapsulated in the early stages of Covid. What a year it has been.

Not trying to upstage you, Tim. Yours has a CAC sticker!

Jeff, Your PC58 ain't too shabby either bud! I also should mention I had to trade up your VF35 to be able to acquire Milo's in XF40. It was the price of admission after Liz saw your coin - very colorful and a great example. FYI on that... Tim

sedulous · March 2, 2021 2:58PM

Moving the Thread...

Other Barber Dime newp. This one an '03-O.

This '05-S came with it...

JeffMTampa · March 3, 2021 6:13AM

A couple of raw dimes arrived at my home last week as well:

sedulous · March 3, 2021 6:14AM

1906-P Barber Quarter in PC45. Freshly-taken pics...

-Tim

JeffMTampa · March 3, 2021 6:18AM

The '08 S Quarter that Tim traded away:

I purchased it raw many years ago. Hopefully Liz will find it a good home.....

JeffMTampa · March 3, 2021 11:28AM

Another dime showed up in the mail yesterday, this one in an NGC holder. The much sought after 1901 S:

Time to GUESS THE GRADE!

Hint- it is in a straight graded holder.

amwldcoin · March 3, 2021 1:36PM

I'll go 30 Jeff.

No Headlights · March 3, 2021 1:49PM

35

amwldcoin · March 3, 2021 2:35PM

I'd give that for details....I think there's a little net for an old dip.

Edit to add...that's how I would evaluate it from the pictures if I was selling it.

JeffMTampa · March 3, 2021 3:32PM

I find it more difficult to grade Barber Dimes than Halves or Quarters. Does anyone have good information on the pickup points?
