Oh, about as many as you have Half Dimes...

 

As someone says, coin collecting isn't a hobby.....it's an obsession, indeed

Who ever said that was a "wise old sage "...

Oh, about as many as you have Half Dimes...

Couple of upgrades:

That 1866 Quarter is a true joy to gaze upon !!

Thanks so very much for sharing it !!

Picked these three dimes up today from another collector [ 1896-O;

1904-S; 1911-D ]

All are PCGS 58 - and all upgrades for my certified AU 55's.

One of these days, I'll get the raw collection imaged, they're

all in the 55-58 range as well.

I was just offered three more upgrades to my Dime collection.

These are all in PCGS AU 58 holders.

Very nice Elbesaar. Man I could raise my post count pretty high if I commented on all the barbers you've posted. (thumbs u

Bob -

Your thread count is over 10K - and mine is just over 1K,

you comment on quite a few coins being shown.

BTW - I adjusted my name in your last post [ quote ].

I should have quite a few more posts coming as I just worked

out a major purchase of another Half Dollar collection. Different

grades from VF 20 to AU 55.

Hope you're doing okay.

New 1914-S Half - upgrade to a VF 30 in my 2nd set

Upgrade to my 2nd set of halves...

Amazing - thx for sharing it !!

Gotta love the toning on this coin...

Forgot about this coin which I bid on a few weeks ago...seems as if I won it tonight...

Really interesting errors - Thanks for sharing them with us.

I just added this colorful Dime to my collection...

Just got this Dime - love the toning...

This was a fight - but I prevailed in the end...

Its a nice upgrade to the PCGS 55 already in my collection:

I love that reverse!

That's a great looking 1947 Quarter - the reverse toning is as nice as any I have ever seen !! Plus - its my birthyear quarter !!

Here's an upgrade for my 1898-O Dime:

 

Question: as one of the "key" Barber dimes, was this upgrade hard to find?

It took a couple of years to locate an AU 58 - and of course, there were two being auctioned with in a couple of weeks of each other. I thought I'd grab the first one that hit the block [ @ Heritage - last night ] as I was able to bid live on their site.

Stack's has another 01-S Dime in PCGS 58 [ nice coin, too ] but I had a bit of a

problem with their Live bidding last time - and didn't want to take a chance.

This 01-S in 58 upgrades the one I took out of the Dansco which graded 53 at PCGS. I now get to crack out the 53 and put it back where it belongs.

Nice 01-S dime! Do you have the quarter to match???

Had the quarter... wasn't up to the rest of the collection...

Just upgraded my 1901-S Dime in PCGS 53 with this AU 58.
