    I add a few nickels tonight, but this one might have been my favorite!

    Here's my 1903 for those of you that are doing date study:

    Looks like a Type I to me. High, mid-centered

    @DisneyFan

    Have you discovered any other dates with different date placements for the date?

    Still looking and I examine coins as I find them. Great thread of option candidates from all of you! varieties@barbercoins.org

    Hey, if anyone is putting together a set of VF quarters, I have 3 dups. All 3 nice even darker gray surfaces. Ill move this to the BST if no one wants them here. Would love to trade for a quarter I need.

    1894S NGC VF20

    1893 NGC VF20

    1892O NGC VF25

    Those are nice examples, Doc. Really love the look of that 93-P.

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    @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?

    I've been looking at this date and some others for a better date type set. I think if you judge the scarcity of the coin as a date it makes the top 20-25% of the series. For MS-60 or better maybe top third. This is from PCGS Coin Facts, the pop report and the Barber Coin Club numbers.

    Here is another newp for your week. Graded by an alternative 3rd party service:

    1909-S Barber Quarter NGC45
