I use a Canon 50D with OttLite lighting. I'm currently using a Tamron telephoto lens. It's not optimal, but it has a good macro focusing range (but somewhat poor glass). I'm waiting for my bellows and adapters to arrive to set up properly for macro photography. The Otts made a big difference for the imaging, but I still need to build a proper mounting bracket for the lamps so I have more control of their positioning. It's been a fun learning process...

[Elbesaar]

BRG... I would really like to see your set up. Anyway you

could post a couple of images here ? Thanks !!

I would never have thought this would have graded as a VF 30 - looks 20ish to me !

Hardtimes - can you believe this guy ? He's been taunting me with that Half

since I've known him. Some day B/S I'll get it from your clutches !!

 

Here's another Barber Design - with a "Platinum" CAC - [ a Green CAC that had tape over it which removed the Green top coat !! ]

I don't remember posting this one which was just imaged - maybe I posted Heritage's images - but I really like this coin - and wish I had a complete set

that was toned just like it !

Looks like all that collection direction changing has affected your memory a bit as you used to own the 97-S Broadstrike, not the 98-O

 

Here's 1 of the 2 Plate Coins in David Lawrence Barber Quarter 2ND Edition Book Error Section.

 

It's the only non Philly, Branch Mint Barber Quarter Error Known formally belonging to Larry Briggs.

 

A San Francisco minted 1907 now PCGS AU58 5% Off Center, formally in a SEGS MS63 15% Off Center holder.

Wow with friends like you guys who needs... Oh never mind!

 

I had about a dozen Barber dime errors, but once I found this one I sold all the others.

 

1901 PCGS MS64 Uncentered Broadstrike.

 

[Rawzone]

guess this belongs here

Broadstruck,

 

I love your newer 1901 O/C Dime; I have a nice AU58 myself

of the same date - and I have seen many more 1901 off- centers.

It must have been one malfunctioning press that year to produce

so many errors. I would guess a misalignment of the dies caused

the problems. Many seemed to escape from the Mint in Philadelphia

that year.

 

I should get in touch with Larry about the off center Quarter. Very neat

coin and would be a great addition to my Barber Error Collection.

 

BTW, B/S, in my dotage, I still remember which Broadstruck Half I used

to own, yes I remember the 97-S too well. I 'll reserve comment on it

as I don't know who owns it - or - if you're trying to sell it. However,

when I said you've taunting me with the 1898 B/S, you know you have

{ and, I love it !! }

 

While at FUN, a young man came to Glenn's table with a very unusual V Nickel,

it was an 1899 in an NGC 45 Holder - split planchlet . I had hoped he had the

other half, but, no such luck. I still need to get it imaged.

 

My more recent Barber Half set is 99.% complete, I just sent in 8 ANACS coins

for cross over - and I have to still send in a Mechanical Error ( I bought an 1895 Phila

issue, in PC 45, but the label says it's an 1895-O ! ) so that needs to go back for correction.

Lastly I have a few other ANACS Barber Halves, I neglected to bring with me to FUN for

cross over. I have one coin in this set I refuse to sell, as it's one of the prettiest Barber Halves

I have ever owned, my 1893-S in PCGS 53. So, I need to pick up a duplicate for that date.

 

Well, Happy Hunting everyone !!

 

[BROADSTRUCK]

Elbesaar, I guess you missed the "formally" in Larry Brigg's collection part, as I've owned this for 6-7 years. Quarter errors are the scarcest of all Barbers and in the last decade including your 1898 die cap there have only been 5 examples on the market all Philly's except this 07-S. Your 1898 is the only UNC error known and next to my AU58, there's a AU55 1900 and a F-15 1901. Also a 1902 or 1903 as I recall in a NCS holder that had more issues then the slab label could list. The PCGS 5% Off Center F-15 sold on EBay for $2899.00 about 1 1/2 years ago which shows you how tough these are compared to dimes.

Guess I have not posted this yet ...

Although I was happy with the VF 20 in my set - I stumbled accross this -

 

 

 

 

 

Its such a difficult date to locate nice, I had to grab it.

Picked this beauty up because they are tough to find in any mid range grade.

As it turns out, I have another in the same grade and one ten points nicer.

SWEET !!!

 

Very nice coin and I would venture its an AU 58.

Based on the sale of mine last August, you should

do extremely well when you decide to sell.
