A couple of new Dimes as well which I forgot to post:

This 1906 is a Duplicate in MS 64 - although moderately toned - it pales in comparison to my primary example - posted earlier. This coin was just too nice to let pass me by.

This next coin is a BEAR - a real BEAR to find in anything close to AU - and although its not exactly in the grade I want this date in - prefer an AU 58 - this will have to make do - as it could easily take me many years to locate another which remotely comes close to this level. I chased this coin for a few weeks and finally nailed it. Actually, I'm pretty happy about getting it.

I think I missed one - will reedit this post once I realize what is missing.

Yup - I missed posting this MS 1915 for the Date Set

Picked up a few Quarters for the Everyman set...

Why this isn't in an AU 58 + holder is beyond me....

The next two are from Heritage's Internet only auction yesterday...

Spotted a nice old Rattler with a Gold CAC - and thought this would be a great addition to my MS Barber Dime Date Set...

Hansome coin, Jom. Love the reduced size Bust Capped Quarters !

Coin was sent Registered Mail and should be here by the weekend.

I have blown the coin up on my iPad and I have seen / scrutinized

it to a fair thee well... I see no hair lines... I do see a few unobtrusive

reeding marks - but nothing that would have limited the coin to a 62.

Heck, I have seen worse in a 64 holder.

I bought the coin because its almost a dead ringer match to my 1901.

( which just so happens to be my all time favorite Barber ! )

Just picked up a nice golden common date - 1916 Phila. Looks a lot

more like a 64 than a 63... So... I grabbed it this morning on line on eBay.

Will add images once I get off the iPad... Seems the images are too large

to post here directly.

I finally got onto my lap top - and here are the other images:

The original Images from Heritage - 2006 when it was in an old Rattler:

Amazing that anyone bid on the coin based on these images !

The new seller's images:

PCGS True View Iamges are above.

Picked up some really nice Barbers this weekend.

Images to follow of my new Quarters... In the meantime,

here's a new addition to my Half Dollar date set......

I must have shown this eons ago... but thought I'd bump this Thread.

Spotted this witthin an hour of its listing and although I

have a couple of others - I knew I needed to have this one too:

Later this evening, I was on Face Book looking at posting on My Page and

NGC had posted this Barber Counterfeit of an 1895-O Dime. Its well worth

posting this here.

Ok - just got the new PhotoBucket account up and running...

Here's the new 1912-P - Its got 55 details but looks like it

would slide into a 45 set:

120,172.

I used to kid Gail all the time saying the photographer was as blind as a bat

because his lenses are always out of focus. She hated their old system, and now

loves what they are now using. The flat screen scans are decent enough to tell

approximately what you will be receiving. The coin in hand is always nicer than

it's images - so - that's always a good thing.

I placed four bids on this weekend Heritage auction - and was blown out of the

water on an SLQ - which I already had the date of in the same grade and service,

but there are FH's and then there are Full Heads !! The coin I lost out on was an

ULTIMATE FULL HEAD. ...

But on the Barber front, I picked up two MS Dimes for the date set, and a nice upgrade

for the Half set. It seems the size of the Half is too large to post. Off to photobucket to

get the images up.

Jom,

Their scans are a lot better than their old photographer [ sorry, but its true ]

The Gals at JJ Teaparty sent me an email showing their newps.

I spotted two minor upgrades for my latest Dime set and one old

friend. Both of these coins are both quite nice for their grades. Looks

like the kiddo gets a couple new coins for his collection, provided his

grades are up to snuff.

This 1911-D was originally purchased raw from Dave Lawrence, in 1995.

I placed it in my Dansco - and had that raw set certified - half here and the

other half ATS - back in 2009. I'm thrilled to have it back again.

One of the YN's from Summer Seminars at the ANA texted me tonight - he remembered that I was looking for an AU Dime - 1916-S ...

It was just listed and I grabbed it [ sorry no reverse images ]

Dwayne,

Glad to see you posting again.

That's a very nice V Nickel you posted,

I love the subtle colors. Hope all is okay in OK !!

Deerefan8420...I was waiting for you to post that very original Quarter !

Good job there - and a POP ONE is nothing to be overlooked !

Although I like all Barbers... Quarters are still my favorite.

This new addition completes the 1892 POS Mint Set

PCGS 58 - Type One:

Follow the leader... 1925... Commem or any 1925 dated coin... Hmmmm...

Just picked this up for the newest set of Quarters -

it'll be a very slow process, I assure you !!

Just a nicely struck Quarter - no major abrasions -

light rim toning - and a sure pleaser.

1893....... Ok...I just picked this one up yesterday......
