Broadstruck,

I love your newer 1901 O/C Dime; I have a nice AU58 myself

of the same date - and I have seen many more 1901 off- centers.

It must have been one malfunctioning press that year to produce

so many errors. I would guess a misalignment of the dies caused

the problems. Many seemed to escape from the Mint in Philadelphia

that year.

I should get in touch with Larry about the off center Quarter. Very neat

coin and would be a great addition to my Barber Error Collection.

BTW, B/S, in my dotage, I still remember which Broadstruck Half I used

to own, yes I remember the 97-S too well. I 'll reserve comment on it

as I don't know who owns it - or - if you're trying to sell it. However,

when I said you've taunting me with the 1898 B/S, you know you have

{ and, I love it !! }

While at FUN, a young man came to Glenn's table with a very unusual V Nickel,

it was an 1899 in an NGC 45 Holder - split planchlet . I had hoped he had the

other half, but, no such luck. I still need to get it imaged.

My more recent Barber Half set is 99.% complete, I just sent in 8 ANACS coins

for cross over - and I have to still send in a Mechanical Error ( I bought an 1895 Phila

issue, in PC 45, but the label says it's an 1895-O ! ) so that needs to go back for correction.

Lastly I have a few other ANACS Barber Halves, I neglected to bring with me to FUN for

cross over. I have one coin in this set I refuse to sell, as it's one of the prettiest Barber Halves

I have ever owned, my 1893-S in PCGS 53. So, I need to pick up a duplicate for that date.

Well, Happy Hunting everyone !!

I don't remember posting this one which was just imaged - maybe I posted Heritage's images - but I really like this coin - and wish I had a complete set

that was toned just like it !

Finally, something that actually represents your handle instead of them HTT's that aren't so BROAD

Hardtimes - can you believe this guy ? He's been taunting me with that Half

since I've known him. Some day B/S I'll get it from your clutches !!

Here's another Barber Design - with a "Platinum" CAC - [ a Green CAC that had tape over it which removed the Green top coat !! ]

Here are a few more newps...

Ah, my old friend, Mme Broadstruck Barber... still love it.

I would never have thought this would have graded as a VF 30 - looks 20ish to me !

Elbesaar, I love your Liberty Head Nickel errors. How do you suppose the last one came about (i.e. the odd composition resulted)?

I need to do some research - I would expect it was either a Cuban or Philippine

blank - but I plan of doing some digging soon.

Also picked up this unusual V Nickel ...NGC 64 ... 85% Cu + 15% Ni

Here's the most recent from FUN... these are HA's images...

EDIT:

While adding this coin to my PCGS inventory this image popped up... BONUS !!

Nice pickups Mike. I see Broadstruck is starting to influence your buying habits.

Thanks !

Broadstruck is one of my favorite coin guys - and I guess hanging around him

for the last few years has influenced me somewhat - but I have always liked errors.

I picked up two newps at FUN - but I don't have images yet -

I'll add the HA images when I have a few moments. Neat stuff really.

I bid on and was TROUNCED BADLY on the Barber Dime Full REV Brockage

in an AU 58 holder - I was high bidder until it was pumped up to 10K - I dropped

out at half of that. If it were the OBV Full Brockage, I might have swung for it.

That's what a Roth IRA is for.

In the mean time - here are a few more newps I had imaged by Messydesk:

I'll stop here - as the rest are mostly Morgans - and I promised Chris I'd let him know when I was about to post them.

Nice Morgan - and my favorite date to boot - but as I have been dabbling

in George's designs... here is one of my newps:

I just got the last three months of NEWPS images taken ...

I'll add them as attachments thru the NGC site - and not Photobucket

because I am already at my Free Limit with them for the Month !!

FYI - 1917 was my Dad's birthyear !

BRG... I would really like to see your set up. Anyway you

could post a couple of images here ? Thanks !!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a few more Halves that are new...

Just picked these up on eBay yesterday:

Last night, I won this - very tough date !!

Okay - that's all from me for awhile - am off to FUN within an hour - and its a 4 Hr drive. Hope to see many of you there - and stop by to say Hi at table # 476 - Holsonbake Numismatics ...

I have looked at this for a few months and its more than I wanted to spend

but I can't locate another in VF 25- 35 ... I had to "settle" for this XF 40:

Recent newps for the Dansco

I already have a nice VF 25 in the Dansco - but I liked the look of this one too:
