Love that gold...but here's another Chuck from 1909

Back to Charles...

Thanks for bring up this date...1909

...

That really is a stunning Morgan and I agree, its a DMPL, as the reflection from

the news print proves. I can't see the "62" rating, as it looks alot nicer than that !

Other than winning the 1901-S half in ANACS 55, I made a best offer on eBay for

a couple of Barber halves that I liked the looks of. Both are PCGS XF 40's:

This Avatar better portrays my complete series interest, rather than

just Half Dollars.

As far as how many duplicates I own, most coins are listed on the

NGC Registry, under Mike Hayes - Barber Collection [ # 1 - thru # 5 ].

This in no way truly represents the entire collection. I also have most dates

in ANACS & PCI holders in VF - AU 55. I'm also working on two raw sets

and have other duplicates which I'll end up getting certified one of these days.

Here's the newest addition which I picked up today at the Stack's auction:

MikeInFLA...what a fantastic Draped Bust - really nice...really, really nice !!!

Sorry, I don't have any larger images of the 1914-D dime - just what

Tom Peifer provided on the eBay auction.

If you could have seen the 1893-P dime on that auction you would have cried - like I did when I was snipped at the last second !!! rrrrrgggghhh !!

Great coins everyone !!!

I've added a couple of Barber Dimes to my collection and also the return of an old friend, a 1908-P Half that I mistakenly sold last year and was more than pleased to take back.

Here's an upgrade for my 1898-S half dollar slot

...nice proof like appearance as well...

Those are two Beautiful Morgans there Bob, fantastic images as well.

I couldn't agree more...looks like a Jimmy Buffet song...Tequilla Sunrise

A decent Barber Half for the 2nd tier set...

I agree, that is a very special pine tree shilling. One of the nicest I've seen.

Leeg, Nice color on that Grant. Very pretty.

.

This little beauty just arrived, I picked it up at Stack's 72nd

Anniversary Sale last week or so. This is also the year my

Grandfather was born in County Cork, Ireland.

 

The grade is AU 58, in a PCGS holder.

 

 

I don't collect gold, but I'm curious about this $2-1/2. Liberty's ear looks strange, at least to me it does. It looks like there is an inner "lip" (for lack of a better word). Is that normal for this coin? I've never paid much attention to others.

 

That's a nice pick-up!

I only have this quarter Eagle and another - also an 1889 in NGC 58 which is at the bank. Next trip to the Safe Deposit Boxes, I'll get the NGC coin out and compare the two. I didn't really pay too much attention to the ear die marker you mentioned.

The coin looks normal to me - but what do I know ?

Boiler78,

That was worth the wait. I've always wanted either a Willow or a Pine Tree Shilling

being from Massachusetts.

You certainly picked up a very choice example.

Congratulations on a wonderful pick-up.

Naw, I think I'll keep this quarter eagle - the date has alot of meaning to me and my family.

Here's something from the year I got my drivers license. .

I just picked this up from a DLRC web auction:

Here's another 1913-P Half in my Dansco album...which I don't think will holder:

Harvey,

I have to agree with Kriptonitecomics, the 1913 dime you posted shows cleaning hairlines on the obverse immediately in front of Liberty's face. Sorry.

Speaking of 1913 Barbers, here is the latest addition to my Set # 3 Barber Halves:

Just won this little beauty for my Barber dime collection...images are not mine:

Stunning 1870 Proof Set, Dwaine.

I've been slowly adding to a raw set of Mercury Dimes...here's the most recent addition:

Victor - as I mentioned in another thread, that proof Walker should have Cameoed.

Keeping the Walker theme going, here's the last Walker I bought...

Victor,

That proof Walker looks like it should be in a CAM holder. Very nice - understatement.

Also love the Bust Half - great toning.

Great, Buffalos...one of my favorites...
