I posted this pic a few weeks ago in another thread, but this is one of my favorite coin in my collection.

Toyo, you realize that the coin imaged is a half dollar and not a half dime, don't you?

Here is a Barber dime.

You're killing me with these 1893-S Barber half dollars!

One of the most amazing things about the 1893-S Barber half dollar, in my opinion, is that so few folks out of the small world of Barber collectors recognize the true scarcity of the coin. It simply makes me shake my head.

I may have seen that 1826 in-hand. If so, it has terrific luster.

Unless you own an 1898-O micro-O Barber half dollar or the reverse brokage AU58 S-mint Barber half dollar, which I think is priced at a very fair level, then the 1892-O Barber half is a tough coin to beat on the coolness meter. (thumbs u

Many people forget or do not realize that the Liberty nickel is a Barber creation.

Since I have completed the Barber half dollar set nearly twice in original VF, give or take a few coins in either F or EF, this could be a long thread. However, I will just post a mini-type set of Barber material in MS/PF. Please note that I haven't found a satisfactory quarter yet.

Toyo, why do I have the song "One of these things is not like the other..." in my head after looking at your new coins?

I also like the half cent, it has a really nice look to the piece.

DD, that WLH is a brilliant, no pun intended, match for you avatar! Winston's ME is also cool since it looks like it truly circulated and then was left alone without subsequent boinkage. An interesting note about the ME issue is that it did not sell out quickly and was sold throughout ME at various state-run locations for a number of years. The ME is also one of the more commonly found classic commems in circulated condition, but they look cool.

That's a beautiful half cent, Mike, and karpman's three-legger is mighty cool, too. I won't guess the grade since I did that ATS.

That is a gorgeous 1807 DBH. (thumbs u

Nice frickin' Franklin!

NCS can't/won't do anything about the cleaned CBH, but they will at least encapsulate the coin if that is what you desire.

I have to admit that the 1839 Seated dime and 1834 half eagle have made me look at them more than once. (thumbs u

OMG! I wasn't even born in 1652.

 

Yes, but Hoot was.

I don't get to participate in this thread much, so there is the real possibility that this coin has been used previously. Therefore, please accept my apologies if this is a repeat-

I picked this little beauty up from Dave Wnuck at coinraritiesonline.com

Soooooo....it was you....

I wonder when Winston's new IHC collection will be posted?

I love the reverse color on that Franklin, Shane. (thumbs u

Hey Mike, do you own the Lincoln cent and is it for sale?

The 1905-O Barber is a tough coin to find with me. Curiously, the 1898 Barber was the single most difficult P-mint half for me to find for my VF/EF set in unmolested condition.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!! (thumbs u

Terrific SLQ, jom! (thumbs u
