Elbesaar

.I was hoping I had an image of a 1916 Walker - to continue into 1916 Barber Quarter - and get a few Barbers up again.

Here's the 1917 Half from my Dad's Birth Year Collection. PCGS 64.

Had to add this to the Barber Thread - even though I added it to the NEWP Thread:

Really like the 1853 Quarter - great type coin.

I had a few eBay bucks I had to use before the beginning

of August so I went shopping and I stumbled accross this

beauty.

I've been searching for a 1896-P for awhile now and was

very surprised to run into this one...

Great looking SLQ's !!!

Uh..... care to explain that one Elbesaar?

Had that photoshopped image for years - I borrowed it from

another SLQ collector.

Before I got caught up in Barbers, I was deeply into SLQ's.

Here's a nice 1928-D from my old set ...

I just couldn't resist adding this to the 1931 lead ...

jpoltz - very nice coin and quite attractive - I couldn't see any thing wrong

with it to warrant an NCS holder,,, guess you must have to tilt the coin at

different angles to see any scratch. If I were working on a 7070 Dansco Type

album, I'd crack that baby out immediately. Its got tons of details and

I'd be proud to own it. Great pick up - congratulations.

I picked up a beautiful 1900 Phily quarter last week in a PCGS 64 holder;

sorry to say the images are too large to post @ 196Kb. The coin has great

toning and although that date wasn't on my short list to be upgraded, I just

couldn't let this coin pass me by. It can be viewed [ still ] on the seller's web

site: HolsonbakeNumismatics.com - if you'd like to view it.

The owner, Glenn Holsonbake is a real Barber fan - and is wonderful to work with.

As a matter of fact, Glenn has consigned his Barber Half collection to Bowers & Merena

for their ANA sale the beginning of next month. { My old 1892-O Micro O in PCGS 55 will be in that sale.}

There will be an array of some fantastic original toned halves

in that auction and - yes - I have my eyes on one to upgrade a date in my set of Halves.

Just tried adding the 1900-P Quarter - no dice. Sorry.

.

thanks, both of you.

Elbesaar, it graded AU53.

Mike - I thought it would have been a 55 - I like it alot !!

With one week and no posts -

looks like a change is in order.

Last coin: 1966 SMS Cent

Someone want to nudge this along ?

Mike - That is one great looking 89-CC Morgan.

Its also a set stopper for my 1889 Mint Set. I can't

grade Morgans worth a Dam* - what did it grade ?

Regardless - its a great looking coin !!

I would love to see a close-up of that '14-D. Does it look as good in hand as your pic makes it appear?

Its the first AU 58 1914-D Quarter I have been lucky enough to locate.

There are tons of MS examples - and I have a beautiful AU 55 in my set

already. Its just that I want a minimum AU 58 in my set.

As far as what its like in hand - I'll have to wait - as I just won this

coin last night at a Heritage auction [ closed 6/25/09]. I blew-up the

images on their site and its a very clean coin. You can check it out

yourself - if you're a Heritage member [ easy to join BTW ] .

Added this upgrade to my Quarter collection.

Just picked up this upgrade.

Toyonakataro,

Fantastic Seated coins - just a pleasure to study. Thank you

for sharing them with us. I always look forward to your posts.

Although this dime was recently graded - its alot nicer than a 63 - IMHO

...it could just as easily have been in a 65 holder - and I don't think anyone

would argue with the grade. I had the image blown up to fit the entire screen

and there's hardly any distractions - however the toning is a bit heavy but

the coin is very lusterous.
