...and now onto Walkers...

because I don't have many Roosevelts

to post and I love playing this game...

One of my few Roosevelts...

from my birthyear set...

To continue where I left off - 1902 -

here's another Half which I just agreed to

take on - and if its as nice as it looks -

I'm sending back the 1902-P in PCGS 64

which I showed earlier.

This coin has alot of meat to it -

and the seller says he doesn't

understand why its not in an

NGC 64 - 65 holder. Coin looks

awefully clean for an AU 58...

The first group of images were taken with a halogen bulb,

including the close up of the cheek.

The second set of two images are taken with

two types of bulbs - a halogen and an OTT bulb -

and the white color was balanced.

I was informed that the bottom two images

are what the coin looks like in hand.

Once I have the coin in hand, I'll let you know

which is closer to the look of the coin.

Wow congrats Bill that is a great looking gold coin. (thumbs u

 

Congrats Mike on completion of a great Proof collection.

Congratulations to both Bill - for one of the rarest gold types in existance.

and also to Mike for completing his collection of Proof Franklins. The 1950

was also the last one I picked up for my set as well.

Just added this 1934-S Half in a PCGS 58 holder:

Just added two more upgrades for my first tier collection...

Bobby,

I'd have to guess around 400 give or take.

BTW, they are not all MS !!

Dime set is complete* w/ die varieties in AU 55-58

- plus half another certified collection in 55-58;

[ * ] No 1894-S Dime I'm afraid.

quarter set is complete with all hub types and varieties

and as well as with many duplictes all in 55-58-65;

half set is complete with all die varieties -

including the finest known AU 1892-O

Micro O in a PCGS 55 holder -

plus I had the James Bennett Pryor

1892-O Micro O in ANACS 55 -

which I sold to buy the one now in my set.

My duplicate halves in mid range collectable grades

are available for sale and I have listed them in

"The Money Marketplace".

I know its ill form to discuss coins for sale

in this Forum and I'll make no more mention of it again.

Currently - the finest quarter collection in the country

belongs to the Gardner Collection and its been my hope

that he shows off his coins with some professsional images.

If you think my newest addition to the quarter collection is nice,

imagine what his 1901-S in PCGS MS 67 looks like.

BTW, Hamrick Coins has a lovely MS 66 available for the

princely sum of $154K ++. Check it out on eBay.

For a truly memorable experience, look at Sunnywood's Collection of

Barber Quarters accross the street. Its breathtaking.

 

Love it!

I agree !!

The 1920-D is one of THE most difficult coins to locate

in the Walker series.

DD : Nice pick-ups !!

Just stumbled accross these two coins at HLRC tonight -

along with the aid of a few other Barber collectors -

and these are the newest additions to the Half Dollar collection.

The 01-S is a PCGS 63 - now I have to sell off the ANACS 55,

PCGS 53, and the PCGS 40 but I'm pleased to locate a nice

mid range MS coin for the set.

The 1902-P is a PCGS 64 - CAC - and from the looks of the image,

it looks very close to a MS 65. My 1902-P in PCGS 55 will be put

onto the Money-Marketplace once I have the new coin in hand.

I don't know that anyone could put a damper on what appears to be at least a Ch EF and likely an AU 1901-S Barber quarter.

Tom...Its in a PCGS AU 55 holder.

Last coin needed for my quarter collection - just posted it in the New Aquisitions Thread - but it belongs here too.

Its in a PCGS AU 55 holder.

Looked for many years for a coin acceptable enough for inclusion in this set:

The most recent addition to my type set. These early pieces are kinda hard to find.

 

I have only seen a few of these and hardly any compare to this fablulous coin.

Sort of puts a damper on my last purchase for the Barber Quarter Collection:

and another NEWP from CSNS...

A newp from the CSNS...

I've had the images resized of my NEWPS:

Very impressive group of coins.

Nicest group I've seen in some time. Knowing little or nothing about Early Colonials,

I was most impressed by that one.

The NEWP - from Heritage's CSNS Sale this evening...

First two images are the NEWP - the third image is the

coin it replaced - also an AU 58 - however, I neglected to

save the image of the reverse of the whiter 1893-P..........

Just got this 1893-P Barber Half in the Heritage CSNS Auction this evening

which I liked alot more than the one I had - also a 58 - I think the toning

is what grabbed me on this coin...

...okie dokie then - 1898 -

How about some more Barbers !!!...

Wild colors !!!

Something a bit more tame ...

another 1898 Morgan - this time a Phila mint coin...

PCGS 66

Not being able to pass up a bargain, here's a duplicate AU 58...

nice rim toning I think...

Love the look of this Morgan - an 1898-O in MS 66...
