Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Hey Barberites, Most of you don't know me, but I think MFH, ARCO and others will vouch that I was about an avid mid-grade half collector as any of you nerds. I had a freak injury that required finding new homes for the ones in my registry - and thank you so much for making a difficult task easier in innumerable ways. IIRC,… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Before I present the topic of my post, to prevent all the Barber lovers from seeking my head on a pole, let me immediately add that: 1) Although I do not collect them, I LIKE Barbers. I think when they are pretty, they are exquisite. 2) I have not looked through all 100 odd pages of this thread, so I don't know if this was… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Jim: Thanks for sharing your list, I regularly track certified populations of Barber dimes in AU, and thought you might be interested to see how your list compares with the data I've compiled. As of 3/1, the top 20 (ranked at least in terms of numeric scarcity, and not necessarily actual difficulty) are: 1896-O 1905-o… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Hope it is OK to post this here, now that the auction is over. I thought the auction of our PCGS Registry Barber Half Set overall went well at FUN. The sale followed the current state of the coin market. By that I mean the best-looking coins, particularly the top-pop or nearly so, in highest grades, did the best, with some… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Thanks, Mike. Since I've changed up my collecting focus over the past few years I've managed to get some very pretty coins that, before the change, I wouldn't have even considered purchasing. The 05-S is a perfect example of that. I was always focused on set building within a very narrow mid-grade range (VF-XF). Now I just… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
I remember posting about my experiences on the bourse, but the thread is once again stuck. Anyway, I just unloaded my brief case at home and I found my David Kahn Receipt. My memory is fading... No wonder the YN's at Glenn's table called me an old Geezer... ..... Ha ha ... Damn kids should be seen and not heard !! I picked… -
Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Vern... I like the circ 1901-O. Nice coin for your raw set. My filler circs that I have picked up lately we're all sent to CAC - and I was pleasantly surprised they all Passed. Thank God, I know how to grade a circulated coin that is choice for the grade. If only I could hone my skills to include AU material. I submitted… -

Originally posted by: MFH Darrell.... I never check Coin Facts - never joined ... But my old 07-S in 58 is a pop one is just an amazing fact. No wonder it peaked during my sale in 2011. Can it be that its current value is over $15K now ? Crazy !! Jeff.... I really like that 92-S, wouldn't surprise me now if it didn't get a… -

Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
Thanks @amwldcoin and @JeffMTampa Dimeman is alive and well. He can be reached over on CoinTalk.com under the same username if you ever want to reach out to him. In regards to this 1897 RPD that I posted, Dimeman has seen the coin in hand, back in 2014 or 2015. I just emailed him this morning to see if he thinks it would…
