A 1916-P in PCGS (in the grade of VF30) just sold for over $590 after BP considered on GC tonight! Wow, that is way over CoinFacts value estimate. POP in that grade is 6. It made me think about re-imaging my 1916-P in VF - so I did that. If I sent this coin to PCGS, think I could get a VF30 grade?

In terms of eye appeal Tim, this one's got the look that I like. If you do send it in will you crack it and send it raw?
I don't have the experience to give you an estimation of her chances of the 35 grade, but maybe others will give you their experienced opinion.
Edited to add: Considering what you paid for it there's no downside risk at all in my opinion.

Here's a view of the '16 that sold last night for comparison:
I think that coin is overgraded and should be about VF20. My specimen currently is NGC VF25 but an older holder. I am on the fence if it could go VF30. I have seen XF40 specimens in VF30 CAC holders... so it depends on conservatism in grading and a roll of the dice.

It will straight grade. Does crossover limit the possibility of getting to VF30 in a PCGS holder in your view? I would probably crossover unless there is a better benefit to crack and submit? Does anyone have a better understanding of this?

@sedulous said: @JeffMTampa Jeff, that '92-P BQ is 🔥! I love the way that edge toning plays near the periphery of that reverse.
Here is another re-image. A 1900-O Barber Quarter in NGC XF45. Where do you think the '00-O sits in the overall relative ranking of rarity for the BQ series? middle of the pack? more rare? or more common?
Tim
Your posted example is a Type I OBV paired with a Type II Reverse. That's one of the rarer combinations; likely a mintage less than the 1909 O BQ.
No, a file is too harsh on a MS coin. I put catnip on the MS coins and let our cat lick them for a while. Their rough tongues provide the correct amount of abrasion.

I use cat whiskers to remove gunk on coins. Cats and their exuviated parts are useful for many numismatic applications.
@sedulous Thank you Buddy, I know you are true connoisseur of the Barber's. Yes that 05-o is truly stunning. For an 05-o in particular, the luster is outstanding, and the color has that "sat in the attic for 100 years" look, that I love. Love your AU-58, looks really nice and original with plenty of luster under the color. Here's the 1907 just for fun...These photos really came out nice

Received this one recently and will add to my slabbed set, a bit of an upgrade I think:

Must be the 98 micro-S quarter. Really really micro.

I was looking at the Great Collections auction archives today, and I happened to notice that the 1916-P PCGS VF30 Barber quarter, which sold for around $600, doesn't show up. Hmmmm. I've always wondered what happened around that coin. I wonder if the buyer cancelled his/her bid?
Dave
Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
Sometimes the girl that ain't so purdy gets invited to the dance.
My Everyman BQ collection has bested an XF 40 '12 S for years. I've looked for an AU example for a long time. If available they sell for way over Coinfacts pricing, A few weeks ago I saw an AU 58 example (my preference grade) available online and immediately purchased it. The toning is less than wonderful, and the coin might not make it into a 58 holder today. But it's still a nice coin and a very tough date:
