While browsing for Dimes - I found one that I had bid on a

couple of weeks ago - an 1892-P with really beautiful rim toning

but it was in a Gennie holder - and I was just going to crack it out

for the 7070 Type set. It sold for $5 more than my bid - oh well...

but the buyer relists the coin on eBay - and asks 100% markup

over what he paid. Needless to say, my friend Dimeman ATS is

up in arms about this not being in a graded holder.

The coin was relisted today at $345 [ he paid $145 for it - plus the juice ]

No one will touch it at that price - but regardless - the coin sure is pretty.

I stumbled across this 09-O Dime in an ICG 58 - and bought it

without asking my Dime mavens what they thought - seems this coin

has been around the block a few times - and has sold and been returned

more than a few times - oh well... its still a nice looking coin...

Any one care to voice their opinions ?

Well, the last three Dimes came out of the Long Beach Heritage

auction this past weekend.

The next nine Dimes are out of Great Collections auction this

past weekend as well. The funny thing is that four of the nine

were in my first or second sets. So, I'm just buying back old friends.

.... to be continued....

Jim,

A 1911-P Quarter in 64 is a great coin - it looks very lusterous....

My eyes are trained now to just search out only AU Quarters - so,

fear not, I won't be bidding against you on MS Quarters - now, Dimes

on the other hand...

Here's another new Dime: [ Same auction ].

Mike that sure is a looker.

Thanks - I sort of liked it when I saw the auction house images - but I can't trust their images very often. When I registered the coin ATS - this image popped up.

I'm really excited to be getting this coin asap. I want to take it with me to the ANA Summer Seminar course that I am co-teaching with Glenn Holsonbake:

"The Coinage of Charles E. Barber "

Here's another newp - same auction - same pleasing discovery at PCGS :

Picked up fourteen new Dimes over the weekend ....

My favorite is an 1893-S ....

My newest -

My Type coin:

I have been pretty lucky recently - I found a number of my old Dimes

available on Heritage and on Great Collections... plus a few others.

Also picked up another group of four Quarters...

I have a pair of 1898-O Quarters I will post later...

See you at FUN then !

Here's a coin I looked at at FUN last January and a friend bought it because its

such an amazing rim toned coin. It was one of the nicest looking lower graded

[ANACS 63] Barber Dimes I have ever seen. He bought it from a dealer I have

great respect for - Joe Kaminski - and I know Joe treated my friend right.

Well, as fate would have it, the coin I previewed for my friend is on its

way to me, as my friend doesn't collect Barbers - but was only captivated

by its appearance. Although I have a few 1893's - this one is worth having.

.

Glad to see the 05-O has arrived safely, Justin.

Nice job photographing his coins, Brandon.

Not to choose sides in the Great Black or White Background Debate,

but I have to side with Brandon on this one. I like the black background.

The image of the 1905-O Half in Pcgs 25 was done by Messydesk.

I posted this on the Barber Thread, but it's too nice to not be included here:

My latest addition to the Quarter collection ( Image by Tom Bush )

Last post for awhile ... here are the two new Quarters ...

This 1915-S Quarter was also once in my collection - sold it 2 years

ago - and decided to buy it back - for actually less money that what I sold it for !

I just saw this coin today on a friends web site and have made arrangements

to have it shipped to me.

Justin - I turn the thread over to you and Jeff.

Looking to see many nice images !!

A few more Dimes that I just got....

the 1903-O was once in my better set of Dimes - sold in August, 2011:

New addition to the Date Set:

Ok, Jeff, I do remember talking to you after the meeting was over - during "show and tell" with John Frost ...

Its hard to call those three Halves Uncirculated - as clearly they all have

rub to some degree or other. The 05-O & 94-S have good shots at a 58,

the 1900-O is not quite as pristine as the others - so I'm calling it a 55.

What NGC calls them is a whole new ball of wax. The graders can be

very strict and net grade / genuine a coin if they believe there is anything

askew. Its been said before - there are no more free lunches in the grading

room.

So, Jeff, are you going back to Summer FUN in mid July ?

I think I'll try and make it on Friday. Maybe I'll see you there !

Ok, putting faces to the BCCS - taken

at FUN two weeks ago.

 

That you Carl Feldman - -

Ok, an error coin or a Buffalo - or - another error Buffalo

I picked up three Dimes and a Quarter on Sunday night - and I only posted

one of the Dimes [ previously owned by myself ] here are a few more Dimes

The above two coins came from Great Collections ...

I have a few more from other sources which I'll post later.

Jeff - Welcome to the NGC Forums !!

The 05-O is stunning - and I can easily see it in a 58 holder ...

and I think NGC may grant you another 58 [ I would call it a 55 ]

on the 1900- Phila. Nice coin. The last coin, an 1894-S, is also deserving

of an AU 58 as well, provided that the obverse facial marks are not deep..

Looking forward to additional images - and someone else feeding this

Thread. Hope you're a member of the BCCS - and look forward to meeting

you one of these days. I'll be at the Chicago ANA - if you are as well, I'll

be helping my friend out at Holsonbake Numismatics.

I picked up a few more Dimes for the collection - three of which I once owned - and had to pay the Piper - believe me - to get them back.

This coin was originally in the TCP-III Collection - aka: Tom Casey - I bought it in 2009 - sold it at Heritage's Chicago ANA 2011 sale - and what ever profit I made, I have given back to get this great coin back.

Seems as if there are well over 129,200 hits on this Barber Thread. Amazing.

More images to follow.

I had John image one newer Quarter - from Holsonbake Numismatics.

.... almost finished posting the new images [ from Messydesk ]

Only five images per Post - so - breaking them up...

.

.....

Continuing....

You have to "love" photobucket - I tried to organize the coins by date - forget about it ! Its all well and good that at least I have categories - but it sure would be helpful to have dates in consecutive order.

Anyhow - here is another group of images:
