Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
In 2013- 2014 BCCS conducted a Barber Quarter Variety survey; the 1900 Hub change varieties were included. There technically 4 combinations possible for each date: * Type I OBV with Type II REV * Type II OBV with Type II REV * Type I OBV with Type III REV * Type II OBV with Type III REV The BCCS Survey Results do state… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Years ago, Glenn Holsonbake mentioned that the Type One Quarter of 1892, Proof Issues, were approx. 1/10 of the entire Proof Production of that year. I have looked - for quite some time - and to no avail - to locate a nice example. I believe I located a choice coin in a Great Collection auction this evening. I did some… -

<< <i>I gave it a lot of thought before commenting on that plan of action. I wouldn''t suggest doing that UNLESS you were close with Don and actually had been in communication with Don. He was (is) a dealer who specialized in Barbers ( from what I have heard ) .... and his expertise would be invaluable. That's all I meant… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
So now that there are a few faces to names, I'll relay my initial thoughts upon meaning forum member Barberkeys (Vern) at a BCCS meeting last year. I was left with two very distinct impressions: 1. What a heck of a humble and nice guy he is. 2. That is by far the most physically fit coin collector I have ever met in my… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Vern, I am glad you are keeping track of that '96-S... keep doing so! BTW, that '13-D isn't too shabby either - great catch Milo! Mike, Quality speaks loudly with that proof '10 Nickel... I like the pristine-ness of the surfaces and an only ever-so-slight imperfection on Liberty's neck there - really minor. The coin looks… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Yes, the thread is stuck, but instead of posting just once, I thought I'd break up my thoughts into individual posts. I did not attend the PCGS Luncheon last Friday (1) ... I did not receive an invitation. { 32 Registered Sets didn't qualify me } (2) ....I had other obligations to attend to.... { Because I was not invited… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
I posted a version of this image under the MS63 thread; figured I'd post here as well. It seems little known outside of the latest BCCS journal that there were actually three Barber dime reverse types. Previously, documentation said that "Reverse II" was introduced with a "thick ribbon" in 1901 (what I now call Reverse 3).… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Justin, It was nice seeing you and am not surprised you owned that 06-O before. Not sure if I bought it from you. Many half's are starting to duplicate and triplicate in my sales records! The pair Justin is talking about is a couple of Barber Half Love Tokens. I had never seen 1 before and bam! Bought to within a week or 2… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
That rotten little kid has a memory like a steel trap. Yes, the missing 07-Phila Dime was in a PC 58 holder: I have since replaced it with another 58 & a MS 63 Rattler with a Gold CAC sticker ( ex: CRO ) ... still, I would love to know WTH I ever did with my first one. Now: I think Valente151 needs to post a few of his…
