Barber Collectors - Post your images - 0

[Elbesaar]

Here are the last two missing images for my

Quarter Collection.

 

The 1914-S was imaged by John Baumgart [ Messy Desk ]

The 1915-S was imaged by Broadstruck

 

Hits: 37,275

 

 

PCGS - AU 58

 

The above are photobucket images - which somehow get reduced

once I've added them into my albums. Don't know why either.

 

Here's the larger image of the 1914-S [ NGC max size ] but the

1915-S image is much too large to post however.

Last weekend while at FUN, I stopped by

Julian Leidman's table as he always has

a few nice Barbers ...

 

Here's the 1899-O Half that I picked up from him:

 

PCGS 53

 

Sorry for the smaller image -

 

This coin is destined for my 2nd Tier Collection.

and replaces this coin:

 

[Elbesaar]

 

I gave this Barber Half to PCGS while I was at FUN.

 

I got the grade back this afternoon { One week on a Cross Over }

and it was an Economy Submission to boot !!

The coin crossed "Grade for Grade."

 

Guess the Grade:

 

[messydesk]

45

[Elbesaar]

45

 

John - that was what I thought it would come back as.

 

It crossed "Grade for Grade" - it was in an old ANACS Cachet.

 

 

 

Now - I also submitted this NGC 55 - sorry the images are terrible;

this 1895-P has dazzling luster and lovely rim toning. Wanna guess

what ATS graded it ? Keep in mind what the 06-D graded ...

That's another great looking Barber. Your pretty much doing all the heavy lifting keeping this thread going.

 

I don't have any to contribute but I hope you will continue to post yours. Even though I don't collect them, I really enjoy seeing your finds.

David -

 

I'm waiting for my friend Joe W. [ "Beancounter" ]

to pick up the slack... he's investing alot of time in

setting up a nice semi-professional photo studio

just for his coins.

 

Once Joe gets going, I'll sit back and enjoy the view

myself. BTW - All of my Halves will be imaged by the

end of the year; I'm taking the MS Halves to the Boston

ANA show - and Todd Pollock will image them.

 

In the meantime, another batch of Quarters will go to

John B. [ "Messydesk" ] for imaging.

 

Best regards,

 

Mike

Here's a nice upgrade for my 2nd tier of Halves...

...from Waterzooey ... Thanks again, John.

Just received my grades for my "5 Free Early Bird" Voucher

when I signed up with NGC - and the results are in - but not the

images I requested. I get to pick these five Dimes up in Boston

in two weeks at the ANA.

 

1893-S - AU Details - Cleaned

 

1896-S - AU 55 -

 

1897-O - AU Details - Cleaned

 

1898-P - AU 58

 

1898-S - XF 45

 

The 1898-S is an AU 55-58 coin any day of the week.

 

I'll post the images once I get them.

 

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

 

In the meantime, I received an email this

evening from my friend RLD15 asking me

my opinion about a certain Barber Half at

JJ Teaparty - when I went onto their site -

the coin was already removed. I guess nice

material sells fast.

 

While looking over their newps, I ran across this

1907-O in PCGS 53 - which they are holding for

me to pick up at the ANA. [ Sorry for the small images

- Photobucket shrinks the size somehow - and the

normal size I borrowed from JJ Teaparty is just a

bit too large to attach here - sorry to say...]

Mike.........NGC is really tough these recent days. I like your pickup from JJ.

[Elbesaar]

 

Thanks for the comment, Dean.

 

The images I received from NGC are

basically scans and not that clear. I will

pick up the Early Bird submission at the

ANA and I'll have Todd Pollock or BluCCphotos

image them for me.

 

He'll also be imaging other things as well... which

I'll eventually post here.

One of the last coins I bought before my recent return to collecting...

EDIT/ Update on the 1907-O Half in AU 53:

 

I picked up the newp 07-O Half at the "Castle" ANA pre-show from Liz & Gail

and after a few seconds of inspecting it I noticed that the die had been tooled

under the right facing wing of the Eagle. The Denticles were also reingraved

along the bottom of the reverse. The Die had been buckled and cracked and

the coin looks struck in three parts. Very interesting coin.

 

This coin was part of my show and tell at the BCCS Meeting on Saturday

morning and noted author and coin authenticator, Michael Fey, was more

than interested in this coin. He plans on writing an article about it - and I

have had Todd Pollock of BluCCphotos take numerous images of the coin.

[ Which I will post later ] .

 

I only have a couple of newps - an upgrade for my Dime set

[ 1895-S in PCGS 64 ] which is very vividly toned - and my

friend and co-worker Glenn Holsonbake of Holsonbake

Numismatics insisted I buy. Todd took images of it and

I'll post them later as well.

 

The other newp was basically a swap - my 1901-S Half in PCGS 63 for

another - also in a PCGS 63 holder. The newp is beautifully rim toned

and the centrals are a creamy-silvery white [ vs: my old 01-S which

was blast white and was once in a PCGS 62 holder and had some

disturbing facial chatter ]. I sent the newp 01-S into PCGS Secure Plus

[ along with the rest of my MS Halves.]

 

Images of all my Barber Halves in AU were finally accomplished by Todd

@ BluCCphotos. Once I receive the Secure Plus submissions back from

PCGS, I'll have Todd image those [ again ] as well.

 

To be continued...

Here's a too small of an image

of my newp from the Boston ANA.

 

Its in a PCGS 63 Holder - and is at the

moment at PCGS for Secure Plus Grading.

 

1901-S Half:

[Elbesaar]

Just got back a boat load of new images... here is the first one.

 

I brought this coin to PNG Day at the ANA to get into the new PCGS

Secure Plus holder - and I held my breath for a Plus or a Bump in Grade.

 

No dice. Its still a MS 63 - and I think a very nice one at that - maybe

before I sell it - I'll send it to CAC.

Mike......Love your 58 collections.

[tejas1836]

Mike......Love your 58 collections.

 

Same here. The 95-O and the 96 are so closely matched, they look like twins.

[Walkerfan]

Those au 55s fit right in; almost look better than the others. Very nice.

[Elbesaar]

Thanks for the compliments - its been a labor of love.

 

...1897...

 

Sorry, my 1897-P is at PCGS for regrading and once

I get it back its off to BluCCphotos for imaging.
