<< Well, I have to admit that every so often, I get carried away...

...

I just picked these two coins up...one on Ebay - raw XF 40+ - and the other from the Superior auction last night, in an ANACS 50 holder...

Here's the kicker...they're both the same date & mint mark ...

...

The ANACS 50 coin:

>>

Received the 1906-O ANACS AU 50 coin today. The image is horrible !!! This coin screams under the edge toning. The fields are proof like...and the coin could have been a 53 just as easily as the AU 50 assignment given. I'm thrilled with it. Its a given this will be in the Dansco album very soon.

The other coin - the raw XF 40 - is already in the old Whitman Bookshelf Album. Looks real nice too !!

The ANACS AU 50 coin came back from PCGS - 02/08 - as a DNC due to Altered Surfaces.

Here's my latest type coin purchase:

1911 ANACS MS-63 Barber Half Dollar

MFH · December 14, 2006 10:42AM

<< The newest addition and this now completes my mid range set...coin is raw and have not inspected it yet but I'm hoping its a keeper:

>>

Well, the coin finally arrived and its about what I thought it was: a VF 35. The fields are very original but the obverse central portrait was wiped lightly. It may - then again, may not - holder, but considering that the coin was destined for the Dansco anyway, I won't be submitting it.

Here's a Barber dime I just picked up today. It's probably cleaned, but I do like it:

bfjohnson · December 18, 2006 11:22AM

Dr. Pete, That has gotta be the best looking micro O I've seen!

USCGCraig · December 18, 2006 12:09PM

There's not a spot in the Registry for the 1891 Dr. Pete. Did you buy that in China?

Seriously, sweet pattern and I love that micro "o". I have a feeling that is probably one coin I will never own in the condition I want.

MFH · December 18, 2006 12:28PM

Craig,

Peter took that image while he was at the Smithsonian. Its the real-deal.

Oh, yeah...lets see what I may not have posted on the boards...something interesting:

This coin was in an NGC MS 61 holder; I requested an AU 58 when I crossed it two years ago.

Here's another 1904-O, this one's in the Dansco album ( EX: ANACS 50 ):

USCGCraig · December 18, 2006 12:45PM

I knew that. In fact Coin World had a nice article about those pieces recently. 1 or 2 known of the 5 different types I believe and the Smithsonian has a few.

Would be pretty darn cool though.

I like that "AU58" 04-O.

Stuart · December 18, 2006 12:58PM

Here's a brand new auction win from tonight that I am very pleased to share with my fellow forum members:

1899 PCGS MS-63 Barber Quarter

Sunnywood · December 18, 2006 1:09PM

I have usually posted beautifully toned coins in my posts ... but here are a few sparkling white (or near white) standouts from my Barber quarter set:

1902 PCGS MS67, 1914-S PCGS MS66 (NGC MS67), 1915-S PCGS MS67

Enjoy !!

Best,
Sunnywood

Beautiful quarters Sunnywood.

rhedden · December 19, 2006 12:39AM

PCGS MS62 old green holder, an MS65 coin downgraded for its weak strike.

rhedden · December 19, 2006 12:42AM

PCGS AU-58

mozin · December 19, 2006 5:13AM

cartwheel · December 19, 2006 5:54AM

Here's one of my favorites; PCGS AU53, and one of the few TrueView photos I've seen that does not do justice to the coin; the colors are much nicer in hand.

Cartwheel

USCGCraig · December 19, 2006 6:31AM

Let's keep this going. Another one from my set.

66RB · December 19, 2006 7:14AM

Wow, you Barber guys seem just about as passionate as the Lincoln and Mercury guys!
Some incredible coins in this thread!
Unfortunately, I only have one Barber Dime, so guess I'll put it in here.

PCGS AU-58

Sunnywood · December 19, 2006 7:45AM

That is a beautiful 1895-S dime !!!!!! And a great example of why the right AU58 is the best buy in the world.

Best,
Sunnywood

USCGCraig · December 19, 2006 8:07AM

I have similiar coloring on a 1921 Missouri 2x4 that PCGS wouldn't cross from ANACS (was in a first gen ANACS holder) and subsequently broken out and submitted raw. Three times it has come back as questionable color. Frustrating.

Love that dime though.

morgansforever · December 19, 2006 8:09AM

This is one ugly POS, just playing around and think it's a very accurate pic, despite being so fugly.

66Tbird · December 19, 2006 8:30AM

Sure are some sweet dimes within this thread. For some reason I like my Barber stuff white. All I need is a nice MS dime and I'll have a MS/PR set of the series. Which for me is not a common feat. The only other set I have is an Ike date set in unc MS. Anywho, heres a PR Cam half I was lucky enough the get off Rob a while back.

Very pretty coin. Nice Cameo, too.

Also, one of my favorite dates.

Barberman55 · December 20, 2006 12:50AM

Rob,

Beautiful type coin, exactly what I'm looking for to add to my key/semi key date type set. Currently I'm working on completing sets of Barber quarters and halves, so the thought of working on a Barber dime set is out of the question.

PonyExpress8 · December 20, 2006 2:45AM

Good morning all,

Here is a 1894-S not included in my set as it's not in a PCGS holder. Nice pewter grey toning.

I love the dime dime Rob. I have an AU50 quarter with similar toning I don't have photographed yet. A bit outside my set but I had to get it for the awesome color.

Nice coins guys and Dr. Pete thanks for sharing the 1891 pattern photo.

Glenn

USCGCraig · December 20, 2006 5:57AM

Here is a nice 13-S in XF45. Mintage 604,000 with a Pop of just 2. Probably closer to AU50 then XF45 these days.

How long until we get this thread up to 100?

InYHWHWeTrust · December 20, 2006 8:23AM

Original surfaces, Choice VF, Courtesy MFH, via JJT. Thanks again Mike! Destined for the Registry set once I get enough more like it to send in...

Don

USCGCraig · December 20, 2006 8:14PM

Here's a Pop 7 1899-S from my set. Probably closer to AU in today's market.

USCGCraig · December 20, 2006 8:15PM

Nice 11-S Don. I'm finding that the 11-S is a tough one to find.

MFH · December 21, 2006 1:18AM

<< Nice 11-S Don. I'm finding that the 11-S is a tough one to find. >>

Craig, I hope your contact comes thru for you on getting that 11-S in XF 45.

"Five will get you ten" he'll auction it off on Ebay after the Holidays.
We're rooting for you.

The 11-S that I sold Don is a very nice coin, however, one that I did not show him, [otherwise he'd want this one more...

]

I only have the reverse image to show for the moment - the obverse is just a tad too large to post; I'm hoping to have it resized in the near future, courtesy of Dave99B.

EDITED: The obverse image has been resized - courtesy of Dave99B [ he's a computer whiz ]:

InYHWHWeTrust · December 21, 2006 2:51AM

Thanks Craig and Mike (MFH, I am content the current 11-s, promise!)

Craig, I 'd pay EF45 dinero for that 99s all day long!! (was that one of your 'downgrades?')

Don

Barberman55 · December 21, 2006 3:13AM

Come on guys........keep adding more Barber images to this thread - I want to reach 100 posts!

I really enjoy looking at all these beautiful coins......I'm in Barber heaven.

USCGCraig · December 21, 2006 3:59AM

Don,

I don't have the history on this coin with me here at work. I'll add another image when I get home today.

Mike, I've initiated contact so we shall see. I agree with you about the piece going on Ebay.

cartwheel · December 21, 2006 4:11AM

Here you go, Barberman: A nice, circulated example of a tougher date: 1914 PCGS VG08. Mintage: 124,000.
I bought this raw for $45 four years ago.

Cartwheel,

Nice original VG, 1914 half.........for $45.00, a real bargain.

USCGCraig · December 21, 2006 7:00AM

Here's a nice Pop 8 coin. This is one of the first Barber Halves I bought.

ARCO · December 21, 2006 2:43PM

Here is my newest Barber half. Actually, I bought two AU58's off of Irwin Reichel, but one is yet to come and the other has not been scanned.

PCGS PR66 CAM

USCGCraig · December 21, 2006 10:42PM

Here's the 3rd or 4th Barber Half I ever bought. I know it is a Pop 12 coin but it is the nicest I've seen. To me, this a true XF45.

USCGCraig · December 21, 2006 10:43PM

Sweet 92-O Tyler. What are you grading that? Too bad yours and mine don't have small "O"s.

MFH · December 21, 2006 10:54PM

<< Sweet 92-O Tyler. What are you grading that? Too bad yours and mine don't have small "O"s. >>

Excellent 92-O, Tyler. Its simply amazing getting a half dollar that looks like this - colorwise - with AU 58 detail.
You say you bought two from Irv Reichel ? [ whose set on the NGC Registry is coming along very nicely].

Here's my Micro O -

USCGCraig · December 22, 2006 1:22AM

You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit.

Barberman55 · December 22, 2006 2:16AM

<< You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit. >>

And hope you don't wear it down to XF-40........at which time you would take out your 45 (not XF-45), and blow your brains out.

MFH · December 22, 2006 5:32AM

<< You keep teasing me with that Mike. I'd like to get that coin, put it in my pocket to wear down to XF45 and re-submit. >>

How's about this one ? Its only 20 points short of your goal.

Anyone have an image of the Micro O in XF 45 ???
Just to keep Crag on his toes !!

Edit: Yes, I see the little red X - when I get home this evening, I'll correct this.

USCGCraig · December 22, 2006 5:36AM

Here's a nice circulated 1907-S with a Pop of 3. I might do a few more today in advance of the holidays.

No picture Mike. I know that no one has a PCGS XF45 Micro o as none have been made.

USCGCraig · December 22, 2006 5:39AM

Here's a Pop 7 1902.

USCGCraig · December 22, 2006 5:40AM

And to get us to 100 posts here's a 1901-P Pop 11.

InYHWHWeTrust · December 22, 2006 7:44AM

There you go Craig, now that's my kind of XF45 (the 1901)!

Super nice crust and toning-- and looks like she's done a little soft time in the streets, tills, etc.

And Tyler, I certainly hope that incredible 92 o catch means that one your lowly VF-XF specimens will fall out of favor in your eyes sometime in the future
