I am certainly not even close to an expert on Barber Dimes, in fact much the opposite. But I have seen reference to Overdates on "proof" 1908 Barber Dimes.

 

Rey

I had to scratch my head about this and then refer to my Breen Encyclopedia. You're right, Rey, Breen mentions [ # 3562 ] a 1908 Proof Dime Overdate. "Very Rare". Uncertain digit within 8, possibly a 6.

David Lawrence's reference book makes no mention of a Proof Overdate; however, he does list four varieties of RPD's. Breen mentions only one RPD, the Tripple 8, and classifies it as "Rare".

Thanks for the refresher course, as I had forgot about the RPD's. Looks like I'll be doing some reading in my Breen Encyclopedia this weekend.

The other day, I received a nice 1912-P Dime in pcgs 58,

yesterday, I received the 1912-D - also in pcgs 58 - a fellow

collector called this an AU 64/65...I have to agree.

Lovely Barber and Happy birthday!

Thanks !!

This half just arrived the day before New Years along with some nice VF's for

my Whitman Bookshelf album...sorry no images of those... but here's a show stopper:

Thanks again, TomB for sending this beauty along !!

NGC XF 45:

Moving on to 1896...

thanks elbezar--I may take you up on your offer when it's time for me to purchase the last few keys and semi-keys...

 

 

I'll be happy to help direct you towards what you're looking for. I'm constantly searching for myself and usually find things others are looking for too.

Still on 1895 - I think there's something else I have not shown yet:

I was showing some of my 1895's...lets see what other images are in "my pictures"

of 1895 coins...sorry to say, I don't have an image of my 1895-O dime, which is registered

on the NGC Registry, its an AU 58.

Jackson,

Nice start to the halves. Its not easy finding the F/VF

coins that arn't messed with, but they are out there.

Good luck, and if I can be of any help, please feel free

to PM me.

JCM,

Welcome !!!

Victor,

Nice Large Cent, its very clean for the grade. Congratulations !!

I just picked this up yesterday, its in a PCGS AU 58 holder:

why didnt that get au? it looks awsome! am i missing something. all of liberty is visable that i kan see! and i dont see alot of marks in field!

Which coin are you referring to ?

Lets see what other 1895's are buried in this PC...

.

continuing with 1895...

This 1895-O in an ANACS 30

holder should be in an XF 40 !!!

Harvey,

Nice group of Peace Dollars...I won't venture a grade on them though.

I hate grading from images.

Here's a little something I just picked up, its the beginning

of a new Barber designed collection...yeah, I know the "CC"

mint marked coins will run alot but, I have always felt that

this series was one of our most beautiful in our nation's

history...too bad it never was intended as a circulating

coin in this country.

Merry Christmas everyone !!!

Here's another 1895 ...this one's from my second tier set...

Recently, my collecting habits have been all three Barber series;

here's another 1895 ... but a dime...1895-S - PCGS 58

.

Although this isn't my coin, I have always felt it was

one of the prettiest 1895 proof halves I have ever seen:

Here is a Barber half dollar-

 

You can say that again! Very nice Tom. Had that one long?

TomB,

I drool all over my keyboard everytime I see that coin.

I hope more people would appreciate the look of that coin

and refrain from dipping out their coins. [ ie: the 1895 I posted

above; its a nice coin, but thankfully it retained all of its

original luster.]

.

Okay - I'll go slower ...

1895 - one coin at a time :

I'll add a few 1894's Barbers - don't remember what I have images of though :

...My better 1893-P Half - in a PCGS AU 58 holder - sorry, no reverse image:
