Coindude- Yes, I have to agree - it is very interesting. I'd love to examine it

for a few minutes in hand - but won't pay $8600++ to own it.

 

I picked up a few odds and ends at Long Beach - just a few Barbers:

 

 

Although I have another 1898-S in PCGS 64 - its in my Date Set.

 

Here is another for the Dime collection:

I've been looking for a nice upgrade for my 1895-S.

 

Here she is...

Traded in some duplicates and this

sweetheart is on its way to me now:

 

[Elbesaar]

About six weeks ago, I added another set of Halves. This collection was

from a vest pocket dealer from Baton Rouge and called the Red Stick Collection. I have changed its name to the Elbesaar Collection and have merged these coins with another set I was working on.

 

Here is the first coin from that newer set:

 

Sorry for the small images - I've been having issues with Photobucket.

 

 

Here's the 1892-P - VF 20...

I couldn't get the link to your coin to work, but I found your other Photobucket page, and discovered 17 pages of some nice coins.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and.........

I downloaded that image from another forum member - and sent it

to a friend who's a Yankee fan [ he's from NJ & I'm originally from Boston ].

 

We're meeting at the ANA in Boston this Summer and he said he was going to

wear Yankee T Shirts the whole time he was in Boston...I told him that'd be a big

mistake. Then I told him he'd be viewed like that little guy.

 

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

 

I just discovered that Photobucket is the one with the issues ... seems as though

alot of people are having problems downloading images.

 

Later - and you don't need to try and resize anything - I'll handle it later - but -

thanks for trying.

 

 

 

 

[Elbesaar]

Lets see if this Photobucket link works...

 

 

Doesn't look like it does work.

 

Sorry...

 

Lets see if my 1892-S opens up here ...

 

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

Looks like I'll have to by-pass Photobucket...

 

Here's the 1892-O in my 2nd set ... PCGS 50

New images of my better 1898-P Half

 

 

 

[Elbesaar]

New images of the 1894 Proof Dime

 

 

 

...and the Quarter

 

 

[Elbesaar]

 

I bought this Nickel back in 1994 at a local B&M in Naples, Florida.

 

This was in a PCI Green Holder - Graded AU 53 - when I bought it.

 

A couple of years ago, I crossed it to PCGS...

Okay - I just edited the post above this one - to add some of the

newer images for the 1898 Mint set - other images are forthcoming

and I'll just edit that Post with the other 1898 images as I receive them.

 

I did not [ sorry to say ] send the photographer, BluCCphotos, all of

my Halves; I sent him coins that I had no images of what so ever - or

the images I did have were of a poor quality.

 

Here is the start of the Barber Halves, recently imaged.

[ The 1892-Micro O in PCGS 63: image was acceptable and I

decided not to chance sending it thru the mail. I'll hand

deliver it to the photographer - either at Summer FUN or

the ANA in Boston. ]

 

The 1892-P - Normal Reverse

 

The 1892-P TDR - Not Designated on the holder. This was a cross over

from an ANACS 58 with the Designation of the TDR on its holder.

 

The 1892-O - Normal Mint Mark

 

The 1892-S - Normal Mint Mark

 

There are no new images of 1893 Halves, sorry.

 

[cpm9ball]

I sure do like the toning on the reverses of the 92 & 92-O.

Thanks, Chris. They have great toning - but the 92-O Normal O - has

the better toning but a lousy strike...I bought it for the toning - and its

a typical New Orleans strike.

 

Here are the new images of the 1894-P & 1894-S

as I never did have these images - [ the 1894-O has

great images and saw no reason to have it reimaged.]

 

[cpm9ball]

Mike, out of curiosity, do you have an antique barber pole anywhere in your home? If not, you should!

Downloaded a bunch of new images...

 

1895 - P & 1895-O [ the S is still due...]

I bought this coin raw - and it was one of the first Barber Halves

that I had purchased. I was told this was an AU 58 - and paid

very dearly for it - I thought it was an AU 55 - PCGS hammered me

with this grade... [ Regardless...its a nice coin. ]

 

[Elbesaar]

Another new image...

 

[tejas1836]

I'd be interested to know if you have a favorite Barber coin and if so, could you post it?. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite from just the incredible ones you've shown us.
