Chris, if Mr. Elbesaar is Mike, then I'd have to agree with you. He must own a bank, otherwise his SDB fees would cost almost as much as his collection. Wow, never ceases to amaze me how gorgeous these coins are. High grade, key date, excellent eye appeal... what else would one want!

I hardly own a bank - just a working collector like the rest of the

Forum.

 

If you ever drove thru Naples, you'd see 30M homes to 100K homes.

Its a great place during the Winter months - but hotter than Hades in

the Summer...which is why most of us disappear for three months or so.

 

I had a great time at FUN and picked up some great upgrades - most

of which are being sent out to be professionally imaged.

 

However, here is an upgrade from the Heritage internet only auction:

1911-DHalfPCGS58OBV.jpg

1911-DHalfPCGS58REV.jpg

 

This afternoon, I confirmed the purchase of this coin, also in a PCGS 58 holder:

Here's a major upgrade for the Half collection...

1902-O PCGS MS 64 CAC and it has Proof Like surfaces !!

Chris - you remember my raw Barber Dime collection in the Dansco album that

I brought to the Ft Myers coin club show a few years back ?

Well, I have since worked on a certified collection and

completed it a few months back - but - I decided to have

the raw set holdered; the collection was on display at

Holsonbake Numismatics at FUN for three days -

and it generated alot of interest.

 

I hope to get a few AU 58's with in this submission

to upgrade my certified set.I'm also having the entire

Dansco album imaged - and I'll post it here once I get it.

These are preliminary images - final images to follow - and once the

Irvin, you don't know the beauty of that set until you have seen it in hand. When Mike showed it to me at the FMCC Show, I was in total awe. A day or so later, I posted a comment about it here. A couple of the dimes on the first page of the Dansco had me so mesmerized with their royal blue rim toning that I failed to note or even mention that all of the dimes were wonderfully toned. How stupid of me!

 

I'm not a true fan of dimes particularly because of their small size and my diminishing eyesight, but any one of us would be truly graced to have this set as part of our collection. I will be anxious to see the results once they have all been slabbed by NGC. Well done, Mike!

Thanks Chris; are you going to the Ft Myers coin show this Saturday -

January 23rd ?

 

I have not gone in quite a while - because I usually have to work on

Saturdays.

 

Here's another newp - this time from Tonelover - dba: RCNH...

I'm glad you mentioned it because I had forgotten about it. Yes!

Chris -

 

I'll be there about when they open the doors at 9AM -

every year I wait till mid morning and miss out on too much.

 

Hope to see you there - I have a Goatee now - in case

you don't recognize me...lol.

 

PM me with your cell number and I'll call you when I arrive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

To keep this Barber oriented...

 

I just completed my second tier Half set in VF and above

with the addition of this 1905-O Half - which just got out of

the grading room ATS - now in a PCGS XF 40 holder:

 

1905-OHalfXF40obv-1.jpg

 

1905-OHalfXF40REV-1.jpg

 

This date is a BEAR to locate in almost all grades. It was the last date

I needed for my better set - and I was blessed to have been offered an AU 58 [ I owned an MS 64 - which is not too hard to loacte ] - then shortly after getting the AU 58 - I found another in AU 58 - but have never found another since. I did locate a VF 35 raw for the Whitman album - and have a F 15 in PCGS - which was/ is in my second tier collection.

 

I'm beyond thrilled to be able to add this date into my 2nd set in XF 40 !!!

Did anyone notice the 1912-D Half in a NGC holder

that is on Heritage's Long Beach sale ?

 

Its an error - and its struck on a 1902 Half;

you can see the underdate - and the Portriat

is doubled...and the reverse stars look like a

constellation. Just an amazing coin.

 

Obviously an intentional error - by some

mint worker [ I use to call these persons

"midnight maurauders "...]

 

Check it out - I have never seen its like before !!

Got a few grades back from PCGS yesterday

and I'll be adding a few Halves to the 1st and 2nd sets.

 

I submitted some raw coins while I was at FUN

and I got these grades:

 

1898-P - XF 45 - for the Elbesaar 2nd Set

1902-P - AU 58 - for the 1st tier set

1903-S - XF 45 - 2nd set

1909-O - AU 58 - 2nd set

 

Once the coins are in hand - I'll have them imaged.

 

I have a large submission ready to go to the photographers

- mostly Halves - plus some newps from FUN.

 

In about a month, I'll start adding some images to this Thread.

Heritage for $8,625 on a BIN. Does not have a Best Offer

button to push.
