I recently retired and the sale of the Barbers at this time was

a long range plan. Not all of my Barbers are being sold at

the Heritage pre ANA auction this August 11th and 12th,

but the majority are.

I may have to take a look when the time arrives...maybe I'll pick up one of each denom and try to get a better date while I'm at it.

It's too bad you have to let go. I did that with my $10 Indian set a couple of years ago and it wasn't very easy....I still miss a few of the pieces...

Love the AU coins!

jom

Nice coins there El. Look at the quarter I rejected on the last page. What do you think?

jom

Here's one I bought off eBay:

Once received I rejected the coin. Any guess why? I know the photo isn't great but it isn't my photo.

jom

Wow..MP...nice one.

OK, I got a new Barber...I don't know the last I time owned ANY Barber coins...it's been years.

Not my pic but I'll have one soon....

jom

A couple of more Buffs. I've just photo'd these...owned them for awhile though.

jom

Janet Jackson was the model.

Here are some SLQ's I haven't posted yet. Recent photos with new camera set up.

jom

Nice CBH! I think you nabbed that one before I had a chance (if it's a very recent purchase from Feld). You bum!

jom

There aren't all that "recent" but I've got some photos of them finally.

jom

Very nice quarter there Leeg. I'm moving into those earlier designs myself (see previous page) and getting away from 20th century stuff for now. Should be fun.

That Buffalo has it all Buffalo Head...strike and color!

jom

Here are some new purchases for me.

jom

now all the woman on our coins don't go topless WHY.Let's bring back bare breasted lady's

OK, I can go along with this. However...

Start with the president wifes

...this I'm not so sure about.

Speaking of topless..here's my latest (posted before in the new-acquisition thread):

jom

Hey TomB...guess what I got now?

jom

jom

Most of the coins they sold me were called "gem bu".

Uh...oh.

jom

Thankfully, your abuse is not allowed over here. Go across the way and bully all you want.

Smart money says real life.

2 to 1 Odds! That's better than Vegas!

Ok, Ok...sorry...I'm adding to the "noise" here.

Please, can we stop this naming calling [!@#%^&^]? It's become like the PCGS boards.

jom

NGC has warned you a number of times about your baiting techniques LouSeal.

What the hell are you talking about?

Dude, relax.

Suggested remedy: Alcohol.

jom

Some people point to this as NCG being looser or PCGS be more conservative.

And who are those "some people"? They are newbies who collect moderns and other such newer material you would normally see in such high grades. And there are even veterans who would complain about this because they think they can really tell the difference between a 67 and a 68 on a CONSISTANT basis when they really can't. I can't but I don't complain about it.

After being in this market for 12 years now I can say the only problem I've seen with NGC coins was there previous tendancy to overgrade dull/lifeless toned pieces. I believe that hasn't been a problem for a number of years now BUT many of the coins still linger in their holders it it gives them a bad rep even to this day.

jom

though I think NGC is a bit more lenient in Morgan Dollars graded above 65, as well as some of the key dates

Since you are a dealer in these coins and you seem to be a reasonable guy: Tell me, does NGC being "lenient" on these dollars really mean they aren't as good a grading service as PCGS? Another words do you favor being "tight" rather than being "consistant"?

Thanks
