And an upgrade to my 1896-O:

[ Have an AU 53, but no image, sorry.]

Stunning Half Dimes you're collected.

Also, I really like that 1840 gold...

You're all probably tired of seeing Barbers,

but I just really like that design. Here's a couple

of recent additions.

The 1892-O is a duplicate Type One

[neither my AU 55 Type One nor my Type Two AU 58 are imaged]

1920...back to SLQ's...

One of these days, I've got to get back to the Safe Deposit Box and check that half dime

out again. I almost forgot I had it, until I stumbled accross it on my account with Pinnacle.

It seems that everyone thinks its in a MS 64 holder...some think its a 65.

All I'll say at the moment is that it was certified by NGC.

Well, the end of this month my father is celebrating his 90th birthday !

[ I wish I could say he was already pretty old when I was born, but I can't. ]

I just picked this up for him and its the only gold coin minted the year he was born:

This isn't really a new purchase, but I just discovered the image from my file

at Pinnale Rarities...and after seeing that lovely Half Dime just posted,

I thought I'd share my "new" discovery.

The obverse image isn't the best and the scratches

at the date are on the holder otherwise, I think its an excellent coin for the grade.

Anyone care to guess what NGC gave this coin ?

One of the nicest Type One's I've seen, and the highlight of my 1917 Mint Set:

Have had my eyes on this variety for quite some time. Its a POP -TOP 30/0 in this designation. I thought this Proof 67 was as close to a Cameo as you could find without paying a fortune just to have the CAM on its holder.

Continuing with the Proof Washington collection, here are four new pick up's:

1953 Proof 67 Cameo

1955 Proof 68 Cameo

1956 Proof 67 Deep Cameo

1959 Proof 67 Cameo

Beautiful toning on your SLQ, Jom.

I rarely see toning as nice on any SLQ.

Thanks for the compliments, I actually got this coin for $400 under my maximum bid and for the same price I paid three years ago for my other 05-O half in PCGS AU 58.

Either I overpaid back then - which I doubt - or I stole this coin. The published pricing guides are worthless on better date Barber material, so, this coin will join its sister 05-O as soon as it arrives...

The attached image of my other 05-O [ which I personally like alot more ] also has another coin attached to its image of which I can't seperate the two images.

Just added a nice duplicate 1905-O Half Dollar, for inclusion in my second tier set...

...

SLQ's, huh ? Okay, I'll add a couple...

Dwaine...Excellent 1870 proof coins...and, DD,

that 1940-S half is awesome too !!

Great coins, everyone !!

Added a few proof Washingtons ... they'll be perfect matches to the coins already in this set...

Winston...nice Seated coins !!

Also, nice contrast on the 1964 Kennedy proof half.

Here's an upgrade to the quarter set...oh, yeah...just another Barber...

Another Barber collector was nice enough to resize the image of an 1894-O

Barber Quarter I bought a week or so ago...its graded by PCGS as an AU 58

and is a nice upgrade to the AU 55 in my set...

Very special looking Stone Mountain and Grant...

Great looking coins Carl and Lee. (thumbs u

Couldn't agree more.

Really like the look of the Half Cent - regardless of what the

holder grade is. Looks alot nicer than a MS 62.

Newest addition to the Barber Dime Set...as well as the 1898 Mint Set...

My newest addition to my primary set...

Here's another 1893-O

Larry, That's a sweet looking proof half...love the toning.

If you knew how hard it was to locate one in VF30-XF45...which I guess you already know...

Here's another 1893-S in my better set: [ PCGS AU 55 ]

Here's one of my favorite Barbers...NGC 65 Star
