I think that the grant is okay, Sy, but I will go back to Oregons just incase:

That looks like it will be a nice barber, Harvey!

1819 over 8?

If I post her, can you boys give a peek and see what you think?

 

We would be happy to.

A humble purchase, but unfortunately it is all that my budget will allow right now.

Today I was at a swimmeet for my youngest daughter. At one point there was a 1 1/2 - 2 hour break between her races so I wandered over to a B&M that was a 5-10 minute walk away. I looked through their boxes of raw Peace dollars and Frankies, and found a halfway decent 1922 Peace. Before I bought it though I saw that they had a couple of boxes of slabbed coins so I browsed through them.

 

One of the 4 remaining holes in my Frankie set was the 1959-D. Low and behold there were 3 attractive '59-D's all slabbed NGC MS65. One was an old green label "fatty" that had lovely soft blue/purple, green, red, and orange toning. Needless to say, I forgot about the Peace dollar and bought the '59-D. Also, they didn't give FBL back then, and this coin has a serious shot at FBL'ing if I ever re-slab it. My best guess is that it is album toned. It's a lot of fun to stumble upon a nice example of something that you have been looking for for a long time. It definitely made my day.

Cool story! (thumbs u

I am not a Barber collector, per se, but here is the half from my type set:

Wow!

I highly recommend it!

How about a nice, humble steelie:

Nice ones there, Winston!

and a belated Birthday wish for Zach and Rev. Great additions everyone. (thumbs u

Thanks!

Very Nice!

I like that morgan!

I don't mind buying coins in off slabs. I just pay what I think the realistic grade and then crack'em.

I don't mind buying coins in any slabs. I just pay what I think the realistic grade and then crack'em.

I got these a little while ago, but I haven't posted them yet.

You got a much better image of it than I had managed to.

Man, Bobby, you aren't paying very close attention today are you.

Chad, Tom offered me the coin on layaway.

Nice Zach, but enlighten me, what's the denomination? Is it an Early Half?

 

Looks like a QTR to me.

It's a dime. Tom had it for sale in the marketplace. Thanks for the comments, everybody!

This one is on its way to me.

Many of my favorite type coins were from him as well.
