Newest upgrade to the 2nd tier set of Halves:

Oh... the grade....

oopps...that's a bit small...

Just added a 1917-D Dime in NGC 45

for my Dansco collection.

While I was at a local Ft Myers coin show, I also picked up four

XF dimes as well...no images yet though. Nothing exotic, I assure

you - just nice coins.

I just picked this Liberty Head Nickel up the other day...

A couple of newps:

1910-P Quarter PCGS MS 64 [ upgrade for my MS 61 ]

1900-P Half PCGS AU 50 [ upgrade for the 2nd set ]

Chris -

I'll be there about when they open the doors at 9AM -

every year I wait till mid morning and miss out on too much.

Hope to see you there - I have a Goatee now - in case

you don't recognize me....

PM me with your cell number and I'll call you when I arrive.

To keep this Barber oriented...

I just completed my second tier Half set in VF and above

with the addition of this 1905-O Half - which just got out of

the grading room ATS - now in a PCGS XF 40 holder:

This date is a BEAR to locate in almost all grades. It was the last date

I needed for my better set - and I was blessed to have been offered an AU 58 [ I owned an MS 64 - which is not too hard to loacte ] - then shortly after getting the AU 58 - I found another in AU 58 - but have never found another since. I did locate a VF 35 raw for the Whitman album - and have a F 15 in PCGS - which was/ is in my second tier collection.

I'm beyond thrilled to be able to add this date into my 2nd set in XF 40 !!!

Mark and Physics-Fan3.14 - great Walkers.

Thanks Chris; are you going to the Ft Myers coin show this Saturday -

January 23rd ?

I have not gone in quite a while - because I usually have to work on

Saturdays.

Here's another newp - this time from Tonelover - dba: RCNH...

Its in a PCGS 58 holder -

I have an 1898 Date Set and I saw this at FUN

and contacted the dealer when I got home, so,

I should have this in hand with a day or two...

Its in a PCGS 64 Holder.

Mark, I know where they are but have never been in to see their cars. Mike

My newest V Nickel - I had some eBay Bucks to use up -

so this was almost "free"...

Elbesarr- have you ever visited Naples Motor Sports ??

Mark - are they on Goodlette Road ? or Airport Road ?

I drive by these dealerships every day on my way to work...

and all I can do is drool.

Picked this dime up at FUN at JJ Teaparty's booth - Thanks again, Liz.

Here are the new images - a duplicate of the first page OBV as well as page one REV - plus the second page OBV & REV.

These are preliminary images - final images to follow - and once the

coins are certified - those images will be posted [ at a later date ].

Chris - you remember my raw Barber Dime collection in the Dansco album that I brought to the Ft Myers coin club show a few years back ?

Well, I have since worked on a certified collection and completed it a few months back - but - I decided to have the raw set holdered; the collection was on display at Holsonbake Numismatics at FUN for three days - and it generated alot of interest.

 

How could I forget it?!! It is a wonderfully beautiful set.

 

Chris

Okay - here's the first page - page two will be along soon.

BTW: Missing coins are already holdered by PCGS or NGC.

Nice AU 58's don't come around too often and I couldn't pass this one up...

My Mom was Belgian - from a suburb of Antwerp -

so, I couldn't pass this one up:

Here is a newp Proof Barber Dime from the Heritage auction at FUN

While browsing the Bourse Floor - I also picked up the matching

Proof Quarter - however I don't have an image yet of the Quarter.

I hardly own a bank - just a working collector like the rest of the

Forum.

If you ever drove thru Naples, you'd see 30M homes to 100K homes.

Its a great place during the Winter months - but hotter than Hades in

the Summer...which is why most of us disappear for three months or so.

I had a great time at FUN and picked up some great upgrades - most

of which are being sent out to be professionally imaged.

However, here is an upgrade from the Heritage internet only auction:

This afternoon, I confirmed the purchase of this coin, also in a PCGS 58 holder:

Here's a major upgrade for the Half collection...

1902-O PCGS MS 64 CAC and it has Proof Like surfaces !!

I hope to get a few AU 58's with in this submission

to upgrade my certified set.I'm also having the entire

Dansco album imaged - and I'll post it here once I get it.

PCGS MS 64

I spent three exciting days at FUN and met quite a few

Barber collectors - and the meeting of the BCCS was very well

attended. There was a great show and tell - everyone brought

something to discuss...I brought my 1905-O Micro O Dime in AU 58.

I also was able to pick up a half dozen newps ... no images yet - save one -

which was on the dealer's website:

Its in a PCGS MS 64 holder with a green CAC sticker.

Its got deeper amber proof like - cameo features - than

the image suggests. It took my breath away when I first

laid eyes on it. One of the better struck 1902-O's I have

ever seen as well.

Once the other newps are imaged, I'll post those as well.

Just won this at B&M's FUN auction:

PCGS PR 65 CAM

Its a birth year coin for one of my Grandmothers.

I've been putting together a set of 1891's in her honor.

Newest 1908-P ...PCGS AU 53...

New pick up for the third tier collection -

1898 - One of my favorite dates...

...and this is my newest 1898 Addition... NGC 61...love the rim toning !!
