A fellow Barber collector - turned dealer recently - and just sold me this

great looking 1898-P Half.

I just can't resist a good looking Barber...

I'm really liking that 1865 3CN in AU 58.

How difficult are these to find in AU 58 ?

Aside from the early to mid 1880's are

they readily available - or impossible to find ?

NEWPS from Heritage's Summer FUN Bullet auction:

[ The 1904-S Half will be cracked out for the Whitman Album ]

1898...oh, Boy !!!

I get to show off my NEWP from my Proof Set:

Unable to make it to Summer FUN, I put in a few bids

on the Heritage Internet Auction and won these two coins:

[ The 1904-S will be cracked out for the Whitman album. ]

Funny...its the last one I need to complete my collection...

Here's another Liberty Head Nickel - its in a PCGS 58 holder.

Attached: 1905-S, Ex: Bowers and Merena auction.

One of the prettiest Barber Halves I have ever seen,

its in an NGC MS 67 Star Holder.

Although not mine, I saved the images as I doubt

I'll ever see the coin auctioned again. [ Let alone

be able to win it at auction, as these vividly toned

coins always go for Moon Money ].

1913...its Barbertime !!!

I picked up this 1909-O Half in ANACS 20

which is destined to be cracked out for the

Whitman album:

Great looking Trime, Boiler.

Also love that 1870 Pilgrim Commemorative,

its extremely interesting. Wonderful description,

thanks for all the background - Medals are not

my forte, but I wouldn't mind assembling a set

of Pilgim commems [ 1920 & 1921 ] plus an

example of this 1870 commem.

Great looking Walkers too !

Although I like the Lincolns imaged, I scared of

Red Copper...I always end up with RB's.

Although this is not my coin - it was the last one needed

for my friend's set - in XF 45. I believe its a POP - 2 in XF 45.

Its so nice, I thought I'd share it.

NEWPS scheduled for crack outs :

NEWPS - off eBay this morning - w/ BIN...

the auction was going to end while I was

at work and didn't want to loose these...

Bobby,

Very clean looking Morgan. Also a nice bonus with the proof Jeff.

Here's something I located today - and its going to get cracked out

as soon as it arrives for the Whitman album.

This'll get cracked out as soon as it arrives - as its destined for

the old Whitman Bookself Album.

Its a very fine VF - IMHO:

.Another NEWP for the Whitman album.

Glad I don't have anything to follow that amazing set!! SCORE!!!

 

 

 

 

I'm holding off posting anything on the NEWP thread myself.

 

I'll just play with a few images on the Barber thread...

Okay, here's the NEWP I referred to -

its in a PCG XF 45 holder - looks AU 50.

A little out of sequence - but here are my newest additions:

1909-P in VF - goes to the Whitman / sorry,

the images are too large to post.

the 1904-O - PCGS 45 [ coin looks AU 50-53]

is just a beautiful coin and a keeper - I won't

crack this one out - even for the Dansco...

Glad I don't have anything to follow that amazing set!! SCORE!!!

Boiler - what an amazing collection -

congratulations on this new proof set.

Looks like those coins have been

kept together since the day they were minted.

Just sold off my duplicate 1905-O in PCGS 58. [ attached ]

This 1905-O half is in my Dansco album:

1905-O Half:

Nice looking 1886 Morgan; also, the 1826 CBH is also very nice.

Maybe one of these days I'll tackle those series.

Until then...here's another Barber Half for the Whitman:

Great coins all...especially like the 1864 Two Cent Piece and the BTW Commem.

I've never seen a 1970-S/S/S before - thanks for sharing it !!

Still plugging away at the raw Whitman album, here's

the NEWP, an 1899-S in VF 25 - picked up on eBay

tonight. It looks like a nice problem free coin:
