I also loved that show - odd-ball British humor -

but funny as all get out !!

I have tried not to double post my newps which

I usually post on the Barber Thread.

If you don't mind wading thru 700 posts -

you'll see what is my primary focus.

But I will post this one Barber because I

litterally stumbled across this coin on a B&M

internet only auction last night.

Its an 1893-P Half in an ANACS 58 holder -

and its got the TDR designation on the holder.

Here's another addition to my Half Dollar collection.

This 1893-P - is in an ANACS AU 58 Holder - and its a TDR !!

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

I was also notified that I won this Dime for my 12 yr old cousin's set:

45,510

And now, for something completely different...

Here's the Mint State version of the 1891 Quarter...

... I have almost a complete set of 1891 dated coins because

it was my Grandmother's birthyear....

My newest addiction - Barber Dimes in VF-XF for

my 1st cousin's 12 yr old son. I know the boy will love this.

Here's something I picked up on eBay - and from my

friend Tom Casey no less. Thanks again, Tom.

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

I believe I gave my opinion of Proof 62 Dimes across the street.

If you like it - great - when it comes time to sell it - not great.

Buy what you like - and don't worry about other people's opinions.

What's it worth ? [ 1905 Dime PR 62 = $ 325-350 - my best educated guess.]

{RETAIL} If it has Cam features - or beautiful rim toning - you "might" have to

pay a slight premium.

Post an image !!

OP - Very sweet coin. Love it !!

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

Newp - an addition to my SLQ newest set -

not a FH - but still a decent Head - and - its

$9,000 less than the same coin with an ear hole.

last coin: 1891...

It helps somewhat that my Grandmother was born in 1891...

so, I have a few coins with her birthyear.

When I last left off it was the year: 1892 - or - Any Barber Dime.

So... where the Mercuries came from is beyond me...

Newest upgrade :

45,245

I just was notified that my bid held on an 1895 Quarter in PCGS 63

I thought it had great toning - and I'm looking forward to getting it in hand:

45,107

...1892...

I've been picking up 1898 Dimes for my cousin's 12 yr old son.

He was born in 1998 and my cousin thought it'd be neat to get a

100 yr old coin for his son.

Here's the 1898-O in PCGS 45 I just won on Coinfest's Heritage auction.

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

A few months back, I won the Phila version in PCGS 55:

... and lastly, the San Francisco issue in PCGS 50:

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

Here's another 1898-P Dime - but its for my AU 58 Date Set:

45,084

I won this IHC error at Heritage's auction today

and its a perfect addition to my growing collection

of interesting IHC's.

NGC AU 55

Just added this to my newest SLQ collection...

Sorry for the small images - seems as if all the Photobucket images

come out very small.

I'll try this as an attachment ...

Nice looking 1893 Nickel - PR 65 CAM ?

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

Here's my 1893-S Quarter ...

1897 is a banner year for Barbers !!

Dean - Thx... here's an 1897...

OP -

Without reading who took the image - I knew

the coin from Mark Feldman - the image has

his "thumbprint all over it"... in a manner of speaking.

Nice looking proof Half - Thanks for sharing it !!

Mike

Just picked up an old friend that I sold two years ago.

Never thought I'd see her again.

1923-S SLQ - PCGS 64 FH

I can't believe that the Barber Thread slipped to Page 3 !!!

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

Sorry - no new images yet - decided to wait a bit and hand deliver

all the better Halves to the Photographer when I make it to FUN.

BTW - I'll be assisting my good friend Glenn Holsonbake at the Tampa

FUN Show this January... no table numbers yet - but I'll be there !!

The registration will be under HOLSONBAKE NUMISMATICS .

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends alike.

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

This thread is for new images... and here's my latest NEWP -

which is an upgrade to my AU 53...

Now - for you RPM guys [ and gals ] - look up Breen # 4159.

This is the extremely rare S/O RPM that Breen refers to; its not the S/S RPM

The 1898-S page from David Lawrence:

where David mentions Breen reporting an RPM that may be an S over O.

Dave mentions that he had never seen one.

Any thoughts here amoungst the readership ??
