What's going on with that Oregon at 1 o'clock on the obverse?

Due to the lighting when taking the picture, it looks odd, but it's part of the design.

I picked up my first Barber coin. It's for my type set. I bought it via HA and my only concern was luster. I have it in-hand and am pleased it still has nice remaining luster. My experience with coins graded MS62 is that they are either loaded with contact marks/abrasions or the luster is absent.

I'm very happy with this coin.

I saw this while browsing eBay and couldn't resist. In-hand the toning is a little "deeper" than what appears in the photo. It's a light coppery color and very even. The toning on the reverse photo is accurate and the same hue that's on the obverse.

Some beautiful additions everyone!

Danye, I especially like that Merc!

Nice additions all!

Orifdoc, that's a beautiful seated half!

Some gorgeous additions everyone!

A new seated dime for my registry type set. Fell in love with the toning. Can't wait to get it in-hand. Pictures courtesy of Heritage.

I could see how the concentric lines on the fields could be caused by die clean up after the final blow from the hub, but I just can't see how the spacing on the devices would remain so concentric.

While I'm no expert in stamping, I just think there has to be another answer.

Beautiful NEWPS everyone.

Awesome Queen Victoria! Love the toning.

I was interested in that dime in the Heritage auction last night as well. Looks like you got a nice piece!

Thanks David. I was surprised it sold without any "live action". I'm looking forward to adding it to my type set.

Did you win anything at the auction? They didn't have a lot of material, but there were some nice pieces being auctioned. I like to browse these for the sleepers.

Picked this up last night for my Type Set. I believe it's a slider. Slight rubs on the high points, still has flow lines (that I could see when blowing up the image) and minimal distracting contact marks.

Picked this up recently via Heritage.

I both love and hate this thread....

Wonderful NEWPS everyone.....

Now I have the urge to go browse upcoming coin auction inventory.....

Another score Danye! You've added two beautiful Frankies!
