This piece just came in the the mail. This is my nicest Barber So far, even though it’s a fairly common date. Feel free to GTG!
The top two pics are the true views. My pictures definitely leave something to be desired. I’m thinking about doin a 1892 Mint Set without Gold

Very nice, nice strike and the pastel color is attractive. Tough to tell but the luster looks just subdued enough to hold the grade at MS65.

Looking at the TV, I’m at 64-65.

Looks lovely, and to be a strong Gem ... put me down for 65 ... 66 would not surprise me

Ok, let me tell you what I am doing with this one. I will only go off the Cartoon Shot which obviously doesn't show the luster but we know it must be there since its Unc and the photographer was attempting to show color and possibly trying to bring the color out to please the earthlings. I see no distractions not hits, no evidence of wear, it has some eye appeal and color ie it ain't blast white. You say its the best coin in your collection thus it must have the best eye appeal and/or highest graded. So I will go with MS65 and stretch to MS66 for kicks
MS66 - Fantastic color!
I"ll guess PR-66

The silver coinage of 1892 often has blue or aquamarine toning to it and I don't know why. This would include not only the Barber dime, quarter and half dollar, but the Columbian half dollar and Isabella quarter, as well. I'm in at MS64 from my interpretation of the pair of images.

I’m kind of surprised someone would include the 1893 Isabella in an 1892 set…
First set of photos looks 66. The tilted photo shows a field mark or two, and I suspect there are a few abrasions on the cheek under the toning. I'd have to guess 65, but it has great eye appeal for the grade.
65-66.

Me too. The photos didn't seem to have the luster to support a gem+ grade.
I liked the above two pictures the best. Are they most representative of your coin?
