I've been working on another set of halves for an old

Whitman Two-Book album and have only a couple

left to add.

 

Here are four coins - sorry for the small images -

which are being sent to me as I type this. They'll

be cracked out PDQ once received:

 

Again - sorry for the tiny images; here is the breakdown top to bottom:

 

1893-O VF 35

1896-P VF 30

1899-O VF 30

1903-O XF 40

 

Here are some larger images:

Just added this to my Whitman album:

Fishfinder - Tell me about the 1899-O Quarter - raw or holdered ? Grade ?

I love that look. The Half and the Dime are nothing to sneeze at either but

that Quarter really jumped off the screen at me.

Here's an old friend which I repurchased from another Barber collector friend

who wasn't doing anything special with it - and since I'm working on another

set of Halves and locating a 1905-O in original condition is no easy feat, I bought

this back from him.

These are his images:

A Barber collector friend

asked that I post this for

him - its his NEWP - and I

wish his larger images could

also be added here but they're

too large to post:

Looks MS from the pics......must be just the slightest rub.....how many do you own now.....like 1000

RE: Barber Dimes:

Modest collection really - I have my Dansco complete

and I'm slowly working on a certified collection in AU 58.

You have to remember that I'm also upgrading my

Quarter and Half Dollar sets too; eventually, my duplicates

do get sold. Maybe that's why you think I have "like 1000"

Its closer to 400 in all sets

Just added this 1907-D Dime in ANACS 58

Shane,

One of the prettiest Morgans I have ever seen.

Great toning - its a real pleasure seeing this !!

I just won this common date Dime in a PCGS 58 holder...

gotta love the toning:

My "max" bid pulled this nice toner

out and will look great in my collection;

PCGS AU 58:

Found this little gem AU today

PCGS AU 58

Hi Chris,

 

I try and get away every Summer to the cottage

on Cape Cod; some years its only a week or two,

other years - like last year and this - I got 6-8 weeks

...its all predicated on sales and how busy I am - or not.

 

This year I made my sales quota by mid March - and then

by July, sales were stagnent...so...off to the Cape I went.

 

EDIT : EDIT: EDIT: EDIT:

 

I decided not to have the 2 walkers sent to me because of

the NEWP of the following 1909-O Half in NGC 58.

 

Both of Broadstruck's Walkers are superior for the grade

and otherwise, I would have been thrilled to have added

them to my collection; however, Barbers are my main interest

and as we all know - we can't buy everything we would like to.

EDITED POST - FORWARD -----

Broadstruck lead me to a web-site awhile ago and I found this little

gem AU-58 dime for my duplicate set of certified Barber Dimes.

My latest upgrade for the 1st tier Half collection:

Here's an upgrade to my quarter collection,

PCGS MS 64:

The branch mints coins were not saved to any extent; most collectors

were satisfied with a date set. The majority of 1892 branch mint coins

were well used and very few were saved in mint state and when available

in close to mint state they command a hefty price.

Here's a NEWP for my newest second set:

Here's an upgrade to my Barber half dollar collection

- an NGC 58 - also shown is my ex: ANACS AU 55 [ now PCGS 55 ]

for comparison sake

And a nice upgrade for my quarter collection:

Been away on vacation for awhile now and

have not posted anything in months...

Here's a nice 92-O Half in 50 for my

newest set -

Greetings to all NGC board members! This is my first day and my first post.Here is also my most recent acquisition an NGC MS65* Frankie.

 

Pretty coin CB and welcome to the forum.

I agree - very pretty Franklin.

Welcome to the US Coin Forums !!

I was tracking an 1892-O Barber Half Dollar on eBay

for about a week in PCGS VF 25; a perfect coin to

crack out for the Whitman album.

I threw in a bid - got bumped - threw in another bid - got bumped again.

This went on for four bids - and I dropped out - seconds later the coin closed

at $845.00. Far beyond my highest bid.

I was scratching my head about this considering

I had a really nice PCGS VF 35 which I sold to

a collector friend a couple of months ago for $775.

Anyway, I decided to check to see what new coins

were being listed and I came accross this one.

[ image below ].

I only paid $55.00 more for this AU 50 than the VF 25 sold for.

I just couldn't help myself...

I've been cracking out alot of halves for the Whitman,

but I don't think this particular coin will get "the axe".

Following along with another CBH...my 1832 in a PCGS 58 holder.

Just picked up two old coins of mine - but this time

they're getting cracked out for the Whitman !!

Lee,

That's a very handsome 22-D - love the color and strike - and as Kryptonitecomics said -

those are awesome reverse die cracks !!
