Continuing on with my friend's purchases....

POP TOP - POP TWO

There are another half Dozen from The Cincinnati Collection which I will be posting soon. This set is being marketed by Mike Printz of Harlan Berke. Its well worth your while to look over these amazing coins.

Love Barber Errors - as if you couldn't tell....

Saw this and threw in a very light bid ... happy to add it to the set:

...

My photographer is flying in for a day of imaging.

This picture was terrible - maybe that's why I got

a great deal ??

A good friend and I both agreed this should be in his set:

We both loved this coin. { I really love his undergraded duplicate !! }

Spotted this a few weeks ago - and we were under negotiations

and I was offered the coin as fair a price as he could go.

I was able to pick up a neat 1902-S Quarter ( PCGS 55 )

to use as trading material at a later date. I have a wonderful

AU 58 CAC in my set now. Just thought this was a good item to have.

I also picked up a duplicate 1889 V Nickel - I bought it for the color:

Decided to upgrade my 1912-P when I saw this Dime.... Care to guess the grade ?

I picked up another one of my old Dimes, another PCGS 53, of 1910-S.

This was in my Dansco for close to 16 years before I had my raw set

certified.

I also won a minor upgrade for my Half Dollar set.... 1907-D....also an AU 53:

Images forthcoming ....

Those Lily Nichole Dimes are too rich for my blood, but I really love

looking at them ... Nice thing about my friend, he shares his coins &

I have a chance to examine them in person. My photographer will be

visiting me over the 4th of July. He'll be imaging a few of my coins and

some of my friend's NEWPS.

I was fortunate enough to snap up two more Dimes for my Nephew's

Collection....

1892-O - PCGS 53 - Edit: I posted the wrong REV with this 92-O.

1901-P - PCGS 62 CAC

Funny thing is, these were once raw and in my 1st

Dansco album. The collector who bought them must

have upgraded them. Let's see if I can add the images

using my iPad....( as feared ... I need to use Photobucket )

Same coin - just a professional imaged it { Todd Pollock }

I have been working with a friend on his collections...

He picked up two new upgrades for his Dime collection:

1899-O PCGS 67

1901-S PCGS 67 +

Thanks, JOM.

The same YN I spoke of notified me that I might like this coin....

.....unless I went blind and didn't realize it, of course I'd like it !!

I hope I can post directly from the iPad .... ( yeah !! It worked !! )

Seller's images:

Below are scans off eBay

Mitch,

Thank you, however, I couldn't take a picture of a Barn Door with a Macro Lens.

Most recently, a friend has been imaging my coins "for practice". I'll have him respond ... as I believe he posts over here.

I think he does a great job.... and look forward to many more images from him.

A couple of years ago, he was a student in my ANA Summer Seminar course,

The History of Charles Barber. I believe he only took the course because I had

promised to have my entire Barber Collection with me in Colorado Springs.

Here is a sampling of his work -

A Newp for the Quarter set... Nothing fancy, just a nice off white

lusterous coin - replaces my AU 53

BTW: this Thread now has 230,520 Hits. Amazing !!

Gorgeous CBH Jom!!

 

CBQ (thumbs u

Uber cool... You never see CBQ's as nice anymore !!

That's some Franklin !!

An Octagonal $50 is a coin we all have dreampt about.

Boiler, many thanks for posting this.

1913.....Old images -

Dime .......

Quarter.......

Half.........

Ok, off to photobucket to add images !!

I received the Stacks Bowers BALTIMORE catalog

and there were a bunch of error V Nickels that I loved.

Regrettably, all were reserved beyond my means and

none of my bids were any good.

I did however locate a beautiful upgrade for my 1900-O

Dime, as I have an XF 45 and now, I was successful in

winning a MS 61 in a PCGS OGH holder.

I actually won the coin for 10% below my Max Bid ( which was PCGS

Trends ) . That made me pretty happy !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second purchase was a very attractive 1894 Dime -

ANACS 58 - with rim toning... This is scheduled for my

Wayte Raymond album.

I won this Quarter a week or so ago - forgot to post it... its a minor upgrade

for the AU 53 I have.... this came with the CAC Bean...

Other than that, noting else is new ...

Thanks, Larry.

I was chatting with a friend and he mentioned he had picked

up a 1912-S Dime in an OGH - in PCGS 64. He kiddingly said

I wouldn't like it, as it was darker than what I usually go for.

It's off to CAC and then it'll get sent to me.

Found this Proof V Nickel on eBay... and thought it would work well in my

Nickel Proof Set which is coming along nicely - albeit, slowly :

Picked up a nice MS example for my Nickel collection.

It's from Choice Numismatics in California. Luis Ramos

and Kevin Kauffman - both YN's I met at the ANA Summer

Seminars over the last three years. Both guys are in college

and deal in coins on a part time basis to raise some cash.

Thanks again, guys !!

Welcome, Doc.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your Grandfather. As with you, my Grandfather

left me with his collection as well.

My first suggestion : remove all your coins from those flips. They are made of PVC.

One of the reasons you find your coins slippery is actually caused by the film PVC

leaves on coins. You must remove the film of PVC ASAP before it etches your coins.

A quick dip in acetone and a through rinse in cold water should do the trick. Use a

cotton ball to blot the excess water off the coin...do not let the coin air dry as spots

could be left behind. ( Blot ... Do NOT wipe )

The 1892-S Morgan looks as if the Reverse was cleaned - I see lots of hairlines.

( Hairlines caused by wiping the coin with an abrasive ). The surfaces are very

fragile and show any mishandling you unintentionally give it. So, be careful.

Have fun with your new hobby, it's what it's all about, having fun.

Absolutely love this Half !!

Thanks for sharing !!!

Brandon, I also love the 1898 French Franc. Classic design.

I just added this to my Grandmother's Birth Year set ... It matches

the Dime very well.... ( the larger images are too big, I need to go to

Photobucket to add them here. )

Spotted this a few weeks ago - and a good friend looked it up ATS - and found it was auctioned a few months back... for over $1500. We both laughed at this outrageous price.

Well it opened at Great Collections at $300.... what is wrong with this picture ?

I threw in my bid - and let it ride... It hammered at $726 plus the juice - yes,

another ridiculous price - but - about half what it originally sold for on Heritage.

When a certain look presents itself, I know I gotta have it.

Most times, Barbers are over dipped and if you are lucky,

the coins are just starting to retone on the edges.

I have this date in a higher grade - but - this speaks for itself.
