...staying with 1892...

Staying with 1892... but with Halves:

Bugmann - great Dime you posted there !!

Time to get a few Barbers up !!

Here's the 1892 Ty 1 & Ty 2 New Orleans varieties...

Nice 1916 Mercury !!

I have only a few certified Merc's...

My Dad's birthyear:

jom - great looking SLQ's and Buff's... can't figure out where you find your coins.

They are all great - [ thx for the PM - I appreciate it ].

Lee,

I like your 21 Commem - I just picked one up

recently myself - in a 64 holder:

Thanks, Walkerfan. I received the coin yesterday and its

a nice 45 - nothing more - and the obverse toning is great.

All of my Barbers are being sent to CAC - so - I'm more than

interested in seeing the results.

I'll repost once I see the results.

x2rider - That's a great looking CBH - and its

got to be one of the nicest XF45's out there !!

[ I would never attempt to give the Overton number

as I don't collect that series ! ]

I've been working on an SLQ collection

and here's my newest addition:

WOW....that is VERY high end for that grade and great toning!!!

I completely agree with you.

Many of the raw coins in my old Dansco

were holdered as XF 45 when I thought they

were closer to 53-55.

I just sold off a few of my Barber Dimes to the

JMW Collection - and that sale included my better

1900-O in PCGS 58. I never see this date - and

although I have no intention of starting another

Dime collection - I just had to buy that new 00-O .

Lance,

 

Good seeing you at the ANA in Sacramento.

Can't blame you one Iota about keeping that

1892-S Half. Nice solid coin.

Wow, Nice Barbers, Elbesaar!

 

I couldn't make the Sacramento show this year; business got in the way. Was someone impersonating me again?

Lance.

Lance,

The "Other Lance" is Lance Hipps - his Dad, Ed has been a fixture

on the bourse floor for years. I have picked up some great coins from

both Lance and Ed.

I was browsing eBay today and saw this 1900-O Dime in PCGS 45.

Knowing exactly how difficult they are to locate in collector grades,

I snapped it up.

60,185

Wow, the end of an era! What's the next challenge going to be?

 

(Memo to self: Save money for pre-ANA sale.)

John,

I'm working on another set of Standing Liberty Quarters.

You'll be seeing them soon enough. I'd like to pick up a

couple more coins before I send them to you for imaging.

BTW, everyone, John "Messydesk" was the photographer

of all of my Quarters - and all the MS Halves.

I think he deserves a loud "Atta Boy !! "

I seriously doubt I will be posting any more images of my Barbers;

all of the coins have been professionally imaged and I have decided

to sell all of my Barbers at auction, at Heritage, at the Pre-ANA this

August 11-12th.

Its been a passion for me assembling all the sets [ some in duplicate ]

and I have enjoyed the friendship of other Barber collectors as well.

I hope this Thread doesn't fade off and become lost - as I look forward to

see other posts and other collectors' images.

Happy Hunting, everyone !!

Oh, a few collectors have asked what the numbers at the bottom

of each of my posts mean - its the number of hits this Thread has

received.

59,465 - hits;

That's alot of hits, IMHO !!

No - I know another Lance - and I guess I mixed you up

with someone else !! [ My Bad !! - ]

I got back a few more Barber Images ...

Lance,

Good seeing you at the ANA in Sacramento.

Can't blame you one Iota about keeping that

1892-S Half. Nice solid coin.

New image of a coin I picked up a few months ago:

59,077.

This sat in my Danso album for 16 years -

and its absolutely stunning !!

Thanks Larry.

That's a great looking Isabella you've got there.

I should have another group of images to post once

I get back from the ANA in Sacramento.

Happy Hunting, everyone !!

Here is just about the last Quarter imaged.

I have eight Quarters at the photographer

but I won't see them for a couple of weeks.
