This is on its way to me from the gals at JJ Teaparty.

I have not seen it in hand, as yet.

Looks pretty nice to me thru the images, though.

I don't know if the Barber Collectors who follow auctions realize this,

but, Barber Collector extraordinaire, John Hugon (who passed away

in 2010 ) had not one but two great Half Dollar collections.

His 2nd collection is featured in Heritge's Central States sale next week.

Some great stuff being offered - it's well worth your while to check out this sale.

Good luck and please report back what you added to your collection !!

You know I will .... (thumbs u

Two newps - upgrades: PCGS 45

I thought the coin was on the edge of the next grade -

and it seems as though that CAC thought the same thing...

Jim:

I don't know what to tell you about the 1915 Half with the spots.

I'd send it back to PCGS for review - they might have a remedy.

DO NOT crack it out !!

The point of this Thread is to show images...

why would we be bored looking at images of

Barbers ?

Welcome, LogPotato !!

Jim,

Happy you finally found the last coin - and a nice one too !!

I was able to locate a decent 1917-S OBV for my Dad's

Birth Year Collection - and, I am down to one... the 17-D Rev.

Jom,

I was on the fence about that Dime myself.

I had my eyes on a Barber Half - and had to

make sure I had enough funds to pay for it - so,

my bids were few and far apart.

Nice coin... very nice really.

I was updating my Registry set - adding info to my newps.

I found this image on the PCGS web site - listed for my newp:

I finally got my two Barber Errors imaged....

The 1895-O Dime - aside from being the only collectable Key Date of the

entire Barber Dime series, is unique to the date as a Die Cap.

The 1898 Quarter is unique for the entire Barber Quarter series as a

Die Cap, Full Brockage Reverse.

Images by Todd Pollock at the Baltimore Convention this past weekend.

Many thanks Todd.

Picked this 1900-Phila up at Holsonbake Numismatics today.

Although its a duplicate to the one I have in my set, you can't

go wrong with a pretty Barber.

My newp from Stacks-Bowers sale at Baltimore.

My good friend, Manorcourtman, [ Chris ] mentioned that he

was on the fence on these two coins - and decided not to bid.

Both raw and on eBay - and I think that there was an excellent chance

that at least the 97-S Half would have graded. Its 99.999% of an AU 58.

Without the coin in hand, its hard to tell from these images if the coin

is completely original - or not. The 95-S is very nice as well, but Chris

thought there were hairlines.

{ I need new glasses - as I don't see any hairlines }.

Any opinions ?

Jim,

Glad to see you found your Half for the raw type set .

Knowing your price basis for it, I'd say you did very well.

A friend of mine, LogPotato, mentioned that this raw coin might

be of interest...

..... all I can say is that is an interest... and I hope it gets into a 40 holder !

The last image seems to have been up for awhile -

and although I like the coin a great deal - it's time for

a change...

Picked up two nice upgrades this evening.

Picked up an upgrade for my 1921 Mint Set.

I think its pretty well struck for the year.
