Larry,

I wished I had met you at FUN - I was assisting Glenn

of Holsonbake Numismatics - who has been a friend

and a mentor on Barber Halves to me.

Nice 1902 & 03's !!

1889 - One of my favorite years as it was my Grandfather's Birthyear.

As a matter of fact, I received an award today from NGC ...

" For outstanding achievement on building

the top ranked set in the NGC Registry"

1889 Proof Set

Michael J. Hayes - Birth Year Proof Set

Seated Dimes...

Better Post something before this gets side tracked...

While I was at FUN in Tampa the beginning of January,

I dropped off a newp 1908-O Quarter which I had recently

bought off of eBay in a PCGS 64 holder. I paid MS 64+

money for it - and I thought the coin would get a 64+ or

maybe even a MS 65 grade on a Secure Plus submission.

I received my grades last night ... MS 65 + !!!

These are the seller's images - and once I receive it back from PCGS,

I'll send it to the photographer for better imaging.

Also Todd of BluCCphotos images.

That's one of the nicest Buffalo's I've seen !!

Thanks, SouthFloridaGuy,

From another South Florida Guy [ West Coast Division ]

Here's the next date [ 1891 ] following that beautiful Quarter:

Lets juice this up a bit with a Wild Card...

Any error - or - any IHC - or - any 1893 dated coin.

Certainly not the nicest one I have ever seen [ scratch is on the holder ! ]

but a perfect fit for my mid grade MS SLQ set:

Not quite a Full Head but the coin has wonderful surfaces

for the grade and I would not be surprised that it jumps a

grade when I eventually submit the entire set for Regrade

and [ if I'm lucky enough to end up in the top five sets ] Pedigree

Designation.

I traded a few dupe's for these upgrades:

These super large images are more detremental than

good for the image of the coin !!

Ok - I'll add one of my few Morgans, but lets try and keep this Thread moving along.

If there is a Guide to adding coins - I'd like to see it.

If someone posts a 1900 Dime - the year 1900 is available - or - a Barber Dime of a different year.

Lets not try and add an 1885 Half Eagle. I checked back and I mistakenly added an 1898 dated

coin because someone added [ in error ] an 1898 V Nickel.

Speaking of 1898....

Nice looking coin !!

Stand by for another 56 Quarter Images...

I agree, that's a beautiful end-roller !!

Don't have many Morgans...

here's the one from my 1889 Proof Set

I agree with you - the date was 1902 - or - Barber Half.

Dean thought the thread had slowed down a bit ... one

day doesn't make it a slow down, sorry Dean. [ BTW -

I really like the 1898 IHC - and I could have added quite

a few coins ].

Ok - 1902 ...

Toyonakataro - Very attractive coin !! Thanks for sharing !!

The last Halves imaged....

... and for your Sunday afternoon viewing pleasure:

An off metal 1998 Cent on a Dime Planchlet...

PCGS 64

Yes, Toyonakataro, my name is Mike Hayes,

and these are my coins. I had the pedigree placed on

the coins when I had them regraded - hoping for a "Plus".

The 1901-P is the only one that Plussed. Its now a 64+.

This particular coin came from the Queller collection and

was in an NGC 65 Star Holder when I purchased it from

ANR in December, 2005. Its my favorite coin in the set

for toning.

The 1912-P came out of a Heritage auction in 04/2008.

Here are a few more newer images:

Thanks, Coindude, but they are not new additions.

They are new images. Yes, I agree with your assesment,

the 1901-P is a fantastic coin - and hands down my favorite.

Here are a few more new images:

Here are a few more images...

A couple more new images...

BTW: The 1906-S is a NEWP - I just

bought it at auction at B&M in November.

Some new images - sized especially for the NGC Boards:
