For my recently arrived pick-up, this is a long sought-after 1906-O Barber Quarter in VF30 PCGS. Thank you Liz Coggan! I have searched for many years to get a VF30 1906-O BQ:

Outstanding 06-O quarter, Tim! It's a serious challenge to local one like that. Liz has wonderful material!
Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
If this 1897 Barber Half Dollar can have an O or an S mintmark on the reverse, the value doubles or triples. I wonder if I can get cues from other parts of the coin to determine if this one is a branch mint?

A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
……..and no CAC approval of any kind!?!? That is truly a WOW auction result right there. This had to have been a registry set battle (obviously).
I have to suspect one of the true OGs of this board who I haven’t seen active in a while might have been involved. If so I hope he won it! Wouldn’t doubt it for a minute if he’s still in the game and needed a 58.
Then again I doubt he still “needs” any Barber half in any Everyman grade at this point!
Wow. You can still find cool Barber coins in raw form at your LCS? This one was marked as an MS63-ish unc? What do you all think? The strike could be a little better but I don't see a lot of cut-up.

VG10 is an accomplishment with only 32 at PCGS! The vast majority are in lessor grades.

How about a lowball 1904-S Barber Half? I had fun this evening going through a number of Barber Half rolls and found this one.
