What do you think of this? I think this is a Liberty Head V Nickel melded to two Indian Head cents. I easily see a '188' but I think it is an 1887 nickel if I was to guess. Picked up yesterday from my LCS:

A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
Here is a newp from the wild found today in my local coin shop (LCS). Wildly toned and actually flashy on the obverse with some interesting reverse toning. When I first collected the quarters, I noticed how challenging the '07-D was in mid to high-end AU.

thanks everyone for showing us your Barbers!
@jedm Thanks Jed, an AU Peso with or without a rimbump is cool none-the-less.

I purchased my first coin in 1 1/2 years last week- a 1900 O Barber Quarter in a PCGS AU 58 holder with a Type I OBV/ Type II REV Hub combination. This upgraded the XF 45 Type !/ II in my 1900 Hub set.
Not the greatest strike, but it makes up for that with beautiful toning.
Although this doesn't seem to be the rarest hub combination for the 1900 O, it's very elusive in upper grades for some reason.
My 1900 BQ Hub Set now has all known combinations in PCGS MS or AU holders. I sure wish there was a way to get PCGS to recognize the Hub Varieties.
I don’t believe the BCCS Website has been updated to show there are 3 OBV hubs used in 1900. In 1900 there were 3 OBV and 2 OBV hubs used. Not all combinations were used at each mint. I can post additional information if there’s interest.
@Redglobe - the Type III OBV still has the cartilage in the ear. The main distinguishing points are the shorter serif’s on the “T” in TRUST and the missing cross bar in the middle of the “W” from WE.
The Type III OBV was discovered about 5 years ago. There’s been no explanation found as to why such a minor change in the hub was made for the second time that year.

Thanks for the clarification. Such a minor difference was made. I was only noticing the missing cross bar in the middle of the “W” from WE.

I don't recall if I've ever posted this one here or not. Charles Barber designed this one. Bought from a forum member here on the BST.
@jedm I like it Jed, nice. What grade do you have on that one in your estimation? AU?
Here is a recently imaged half dollar that I just never got around to imaging:
1901-P Barber Half PCGS AU58
I think I obtained it earlier this year. I'll have to dig into my records.

@sedulous Tim I think AU is about right, but there's a bit of a rim ding @1:00 on the obverse.
Here is a recent newp that just arrived today from DKRC. It was such a nice coin, I felt I needed to try and acquire it... obviously successful.

Since this is a Charles Barber thread, I will add something he designed here. A recent pick-up, most of these have been melted:

Great post,I had to look at my 1900-O PCGS 45 and take a few photo's and mine looks like type I Obv. and II reverse!!!
That is indeed a Type I/ II as well! Do you have any of the other combinations?
Here’s my 1900 O XF 45 I/II now in the back seat;
No I don't.I looked at the BCCS data from 2013-14 and this variety was the #2 variety of the 14 listed.Where could I look for updated info?
This is in my Dansco...
is a II/III which is #4 on the list.

I'm waiting for this one to arrive:
I believe it's a II/III and is a combination that I didn't have.
Yes it is,VF-20?
This one is a Type III/ III.
"This one is a Type III/ III."
JeffM what makes it a III Obv

ANACS graded it as F-12
