Me too. For the record, the 1798 I posted belongs to another collector and is a bust dime.

Bob...I thought it was a Dime when you posted it - but its a 1798 -

and if anyone has a moment - they can borrow an image on Stack's

upcoming sale for a 1796 Half in PCGS AU 58....[ it should qualify as

a Bust type - even though the date is different ]

I left off at 1905 ... so, here are the new

images for 1906...

Mike......Your 1901 Half has superb eye appeal. It definately warranted the coveted star* from NGC. It deserves to be added to the NGC star* thread!!!!!

I can't remember if I added it or not - but I think I did...

Its really a great coin - and am thrilled to own it - I wish

there were more bulls-eye toned coins out there - I rarely

find them.

I just picked this 1915-P up tonight - for the AU set:

Bob...so would I !!!

I saved the image as its one of the nicest Bust Dollars I have

ever viewed either in person or on line. I believe this coin was

recently purchased by another Forum member here.

Thx Tejas.

Here are the new images for the 1905 Barber Halves...

I've long admired these coins and

wish I collected them...

Dean - nice looking 1889 Morgan !!

1889 !!!!!

My Grandfather's birthyear !!!!

I've posted the IHC many times before...

I normally don't buy non Barber coins - but - last month, I picked this

coin up at a local Fort Myers, Florida coin show.

Its my Dad's birth year - and I just couldn't pass it up...

I left off the other night with the 1899-P 's new image.

Here's a couple more of the new images from BluCCphotos...

On that note...I'll give you time to absorb these images...

Have a good weekend everyone.

I'd be interested to know if you have a favorite Barber coin and if so, could you post it?. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite from just the incredible ones you've shown us.

I'd have to say my 1901-P Half is one of my favorites ...

Another new image...

I bought this coin raw - and it was one of the first Barber Halves

that I had purchased. I was told this was an AU 58 - and paid

very dearly for it - I thought it was an AU 55 - PCGS hammered me

with this grade... [ Regardless...its a nice coin. ]

Mike, out of curiosity, do you have an antique barber pole anywhere in your home? If not, you should!

 

Chris

Nah, just a lamp pole outside...and its NOT red and white striped...

except at Christmas !!! .

Downloaded a bunch of new images...

1895 - P & 1895-O [ the S is still due...]

I sure do like the toning on the reverses of the 92 & 92-O.

 

Chris (thumbs u

Thanks, Chris. They have great toning - but the 92-O Normal O - has

the better toning but a lousy strike...I bought it for the toning - and its

a typical New Orleans strike.

Here are the new images of the 1894-P & 1894-S

as I never did have these images - [ the 1894-O has

great images and saw no reason to have it reimaged.]

Okay - I just edited the post above this one - to add some of the

newer images for the 1898 Mint set - other images are forthcoming

and I'll just edit that Post with the other 1898 images as I receive them.

I did not [ sorry to say ] send the photographer, BluCCphotos, all of

my Halves; I sent him coins that I had no images of what so ever - or

the images I did have were of a poor quality.

Here is the start of the Barber Halves, recently imaged.

[ The 1892-Micro O in PCGS 63: image was acceptable and I

decided not to chance sending it thru the mail. I'll hand

deliver it to the photographer - either at Summer FUN or

the ANA in Boston. ]

The 1892-P - Normal Reverse

The 1892-P TDR - Not Designated on the holder. This was a cross over

from an ANACS 58 with the Designation of the TDR on its holder.

The 1892-O - Normal Mint Mark

The 1892-S - Normal Mint Mark

There are no new images of 1893 Halves, sorry.

Just the 1898-P Quarter and the 1898-P Half Dollar have been imaged so far...

EDIT:

The 1898-O Half image was added this morning [ 2/25 ]...

EDIT:

The 1898-S Half Image was added this evening [ 2/25]...

The 1898-P Dollar was just imaged:

EDIT:

The 1898-O Dollar was imaged last night [ 2/26 ]

There are quite a few more images - 1892-P, 92-P TDR, 92-O, 92-S Halves.

1894's, 1895's. Will post tomorrow - its getting late now.

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

EDIT: 2/25/10:

My photographer just sent me another two dozen images...

I'll slowly add them as time allows.

Mint State 1898 coins...

Please forgive the IHC...

I'll post the other MS 1898 coins later...

I'm waiting for most of the Halves to get

imaged.

Should be done in a day or so.

Newest upgrade for the 1898 Mint Set

I bought this Nickel back in 1994 at a local B&M in Naples, Florida.

This was in a PCI Green Holder - Graded AU 53 - when I bought it.

A couple of years ago, I crossed it to PCGS...

New images of the 1894 Proof Dime

...and the Quarter

i like that barber dime tejas, nice pick up

Like it as well !!!

New images of my better 1898-P Half

Here's the same date - but from the date Mint set...
