RS8199 - very pretty dime. Thanks for posting.

Nice 1877 - JPOLZ - I hope you bought that one in a certified holder !!

Newest addition - and an upgrade - to the Half Dollar set:

Dwaine - Thanks for bidding on the Pancreatic Research

auction - a very worthy cause. I also won a lot - but the

image is too large to post.

Dean - Congrats on completing the Classic Head Half Cent Set.

I throughly enjoyed looking at your collection. Great job.

I usually add my NEWPs to the Barber Thread - but I'll post

a fairly new coin here:

.

Sorry for the attachments - somehow the wrong file name JPEG

is associated with these images, instead of JPG

So...here's another 1889 coin:

.

1896 - or a Barber Quarter -

NOT an 1897 Proof IHC

is the next image !

Nice IHC though.

Here's your 1896 Proof IHC

For whatever reason the file name JPEG on my PC is incorrect -

the correct name should have been JPG - and I can't change it ...

Here's an upgrade for my halves -

Larry - very pretty coin !! (thumbs u

Thanks - its a great coin in hand.

Here's my newest quarter -

.

One of my favorite quarters

The 1889 "V" Nickels are not for sale... sorry.

 

Here's a tough little dime I just picked up:

 

Edit to say - again I don't understand why the images are not showing;

just the attachments.

 

I'll retry and see what happens - sorry.

EDIT:

I'm sorry I couldn't just edit this Post

but its past its date for editing.

I had the images of the 1902-O Dime

resized. I hope they attach now.

I tried to post the image at PCGS and

the images are in the wrong file - although

its a JPEG file.

Here goes nothin'...

1915 ...

Dwaine - Very handsome Liberty Head Nickel - great toning !!

The 1889 "V" Nickels are not for sale... sorry.

A good friend of mine is upgrading his collection

and his old coins look really nice in my sets

as they are upgrades for me :

1897-P Half - PCGS 63

&

1909-S Quarter PCGS 64

.

EDIT:

I wasn't sure if I had already posted this Half Dollar;

as it turned out, I had. I apologize for the double post !!

I've deleted the images attached to this Post.

Just upgraded my Grandfather's Birthyear Proof Set

I picked up this 1889 Half in PCGS PR 65 CAM @ Stack's

Baltimore Sale.

The coin is much - much nicer in hand - and the scratches

seen are on the holder.

The coin will be sent back to PCGS for reholdering and

True View Images.

Old Peublo,

 

Nice 1889 Nickel - its one

of my favorite dates - my Grandfather

was born in 1889.

Boiler,

 

Fantastic Proof Dime !!

 

Interesting you should mention your Grandfather! The set I am trying to complete is a inheritance from GrandDad! When I got the set in one of those old blue "press the coin" cardboard plates it was 60% complete. I have added the rest of the coins , Plus upgraded the "poor" coins that were in the set.

I will pass the set to my son when it complete.

Here are a couple of my 1889's /// First image PR= NGC 66 &

Second one MS = NGC 64

One of the more difficult dates to locate, IMHO:

1899-O PCGS AU 58

Sorry for the small images.

The original images were at 330Kb & too

large to post; now they're too small...

Fishfinder - that's a very pretty quarter.

Its the J1763. My fellow collector-friend, DrPete,

imaged the coin when he had a private session

with the head curator of the Smithsonian.

DrPete spent quite a few hours alone examining

and imaging the US Collection of Barber Halves.

After examining the collection, he noticed the

Barber Half Collection was incomplete. I believe

it was missing the 1907-O.

In gratitude for the privilege of examining the National

Collection, he donated a high grade example of the

missing date.

BTW, DrPete's collection is far superior to the National

Collection, it just doesn't contain the unique pattern.

Speaking of which, Barber Halves is on the docket now;

here's my most recent addition to my primary Half Dollar set:

1892-O Micro O

PCGS MS 63
