Here's another newp out of the large group I

picked up just prior to going on vacation:

1896-S : PCGS AU 55:

physics-fan3.14,

Very interesting story. Thanks for sharing it.

I have to laugh though, I never find any "D" [ Denver ]

minted coins in Florida - and your Dad locates a

buried 1906-D dime !!

Here's an upgrade to my AU 55 -

PCGS 63:

.

 

The Dansco album is complete and

all are equal to the certified coins I have been posting recently.

 

 

 

Can you post a pic of the completed Dansco?

I'm on Cape Cod and my collection is in Florida in the SDB's.

I've never taken images - but this Fall, I hope to take a class

in imaging.

Truly I was only joking, I enjoy great coins with great pics! Everyone who knows me knows that for sure.

Sorry if I took any offense - I have always felt that I may have been

over doing it by posting my Newps - or older images. I'm obsessed

with the types in all denominations and am always looking - either for

upgrades or additions.

I've assembled three sets of halves - and have sold off coins that I have

upgraded. My better set in AU/MS is almost complete in the final grade

I want the set to be in. I have five coins in 53-55 that I want in 58 - or if none

are available in 58 - then I'm interested in 63-65's.

I'll cool it for awhile and post the other new dimes I just bought which

complete my set [ sans the 1897-O in 55-58 ] which is a duplicate set

to my raw set in a Dansco album. The Dansco album is complete and

all are equal to the certified coins I have been posting recently.

My Quarter set is also under revision - and I need a half dozen to get this

set in the grade I'd like. I was recently offered a really nice upgrade for my

1896-S which I have in PCGS 53 - with another in PCGS 62 - but I feel the ask price is just too steep [ IMHO ] but the seller came down $2,000 - but he still

needs to sharpen his pencil.

I feel alot better now that I realize you were just "hazing" me. I didn't want

to continue to post images if everyone thought I was overdoing it.

Happy hunting everyone !

I got all exited when I saw the date, but, alas, I see no "S."

 

Great looking coin, though! (thumbs u

If you squint your eyes really hard you'll see an S.

Its in the word: States ....

Can we just rename this thread the "Elabasaar Thread"?

Who's Elabasaar ? Its Elbesaar.

No - I would not like to have this renamed.

It does seem as if I am about the only active collector

of Barbers though. I encourage everyone to add to

this Thread.

There have been over 11200 hits on this Thread

but only 430 +/- posts.

There are over 2800 posts to the Barber Thread

accross the street - [ also, an unknown number of hits ].

If everyone feels that they would rather not have me post

anything from my collection - so be it.

Picked up this Quarter while on my road trip to Cape Cod:

Elbesaar! That 1909 has Great Eye Appeal! (thumbs u

Here's another image of the same 1909-O ...

I'm glad you like it.

1909-O - PCGS 62:

One of the toughest dates to locate in 58:

1909-S - PCGS 58:

Guess I'll flaunt this one some more...

 

 

 

 

 

Ryan

Ryan -- That is worth flaunting - very beautiful coin !!

Here's another from my group purchase:

PCGS AU 55:

Here's another from my recent purchase:

1899-S PCGS 55:

This coin could also be placed under new aquisitions.

I have studied this coin carefully and compared it to other V nickels of higher grade and have decided that this coin has the eye appeal.

 

Cheers

Very clean nickel...nice pick up.

A duplicate 1892-S Dime - but a stunner:

I was fortunate to have been offered a large group of

Barber Dimes - all in the grade I collect - and most were

missing from my certified set.

I won't post too many at once - but - will post an image

every so often. { Just to keep this Thread alive...}

Here's a duplicate 1892-S in PCGS 58

Thanks for looking everyone !!

Have a great Summer - see you

in September.

Please - some one other than

the few of us who have done so

far - post an image - PLEASE !!

This arrived the other day - it took

me six months to pay her off !!

Continued from previous post:

Coin # 1 - 1902-S - AU 55

Coin # 2 - 1909-S - AU 58

As a side note, the 1909-S Dime is one of the

most difficult ones to locate in any AU grade.

Its a sleeper date, IMHO.

When it rains, it pours.

I was offered all but one of the missing dates

in my certified dime collection.

The images are pretty small - but here goes:

[ Can only show four images per post ]

Edit: Told you the images were small....

Ok:

# 1 = 1892-S AU 58

# 2 = 1895-P AU 58

# 3 = 1899-S AU 58

# 4 = 1902-O AU 55

Here's the image of the 1900-P Quarter I picked up the beginning of the month.

I'm thrilled to have it:

.

Very nice leeg, with classic 1958 mint set toning.

Very nicely toned Franklin.

Leeg...I really like that Lincoln !!!

I've been looking for one like that for awhile now

for my Father's Birth Year Set.
