My old, uber original, heavily toned 1915 quarter in PF-67+ I like em when they have that deep proof set toning as opposed to all dipped out, like most have been.

Always hard to follow @Eldorado9 when it comes to Barbers but here’s my new addition a 1893 PF-67+ CAC dime leaving me with just the half to go to complete my proof type set.
7 -
@oih82w8 wow, a good looking lady as well regardless of the DDO! nice.
@Eldorado9 Eldo, that proof Barber looks like it is straight out of the cosmos! out of this world!
@Grantu Now that is a stellar start to a set of Proof Barbers!

Very nice. You can't go wrong working with Dave and his staff. Top notch dealer!

Excellent pickup on a tough Date and M/M

Great 92-S! One of my favorite sleepers. Hard to locate in middle grades.

It appears we now have at least two Barber Dime collectors working towards having the #1 Registry Set. A 1911-S just sold for $12,200.00. Prior to the auction starting, the bid was $2,200. A price guide showed it as being the least expensive MS67 and it was not the most common date!
Heritage Auctions: https://coins.HA.com/itm/barber-dimes/1911-s-10c-ms67-pcgs-cac/a/1391-3420.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116&type=share_btn_email
CAC Price guide $3,050 with a population of 5. PCGS $3,750.
It sold previously on Apr 22, 2015 for $3,525.00 which was part of a NAME COLLECTOR'S SALE and later that year it sold on Dec 4, 2015 for $2,585.00.

I don’t have any other Barber Quarters to speak of, gotten raw a couple of years ago & imagine beautiful when put away:
Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
Well, just Love coins, period.3 -
Another Dave Kahn eBay auction win. Happy to add this to my group of PC VF/CAC tougher dates.
5 -
Not sure if I an do this here but I have 5 Barber Quarters for sale over on the BST

Raw purchase from a show last Thursday. Shared in another thread about the show but it belongs here. I grade VF 20. Will be sent off to our hosts soon.
7 -
Really nice find with the 1915. Boy, that just has the right look!
2 -
Nice to see that solid halves in 2x2s are still out in the wild. Great looking 1915.

Sweet coin, I was planning on taking a trip there Saturday but decided not to since I'll probably be going to Baltimore for the Summer show. Looks like what I would have been looking for was snatched up anyways.

1898 Silver Head comparison:
Protruding chin? check. Less pronounced nose? Definitely a little more handsome-looking. Love the bison reverse during a hunt thing...

A few upgrades to the Quarter collection....

Gotta love the S mint Barbers

Rob6 -
Thanks Tim
Rob2 -
I love the MS coins but got started collecting the proofs way back in the early 90's. The 1902 was always an impossible date for some reason....This one is a bit of a holy grail coin for me. PF-67+ Cam, CACG

When I started collecting Barber Halves, the third or fourth Barber Half was a 1905 like this. Nowadays I mostly only collect AU, but I really liked the look of this coin.

Not to sure if I can do this here I have 3 Barber Quarters on the BST I just put up for sale.

For the '01-S, I really like this find out of an old blue Whitman folder.
1901-S Barber Half Dollar PCGS VG10 and has never been submitted to CAC.

Tim, that one is really close to F12 in my mind. Good looking coin!
2 -
Just added this coin to my circ quarter set. This DOES complete my Barber quarter set, minus the 01S!!!! Now time to work on upgrades. I am shocked that the 01P was the last coin I was needed. Does anyone else find it unusual? Most of my set is VF/XF with a few AU.
4 -
Great looking coins as always, guys!
First BQ purchase for my collection in a few months. Probably overpaid a bit for this one but I don’t see too many 08 S with this look so I pounced.

I have been having the same issues. The semi-scarce to rare stuff is easier to find out of dealer inventories (they don't bother with the cheaper stuff). The more common date stuff has been more difficult for me to obtain in mid-circulated grades... it has been that way for years. To buck that trend, I should say I just obtained an '07-P quarter that is being delivered as we speak (will see if it meets the criteria for my set - the pictures were not great). Once I get a chance to more properly photograph, I will post it here.
