I am patiently waiting for the last two auction purchases to arrive.

It seems as in the past S/B is slower than molasses, but this time,

instead of sending invoices out by mail ( first ) - they send them out

an an email. If you spent over $2500, they only want a check. If I were

smart, I would have not bid on one coin so I would have fallen under that

limit and would have put the charge on my AMEX card. Three days later,

I got another email saying they have not received payment - guess they

never heard that mail takes a few days. Three day goes by and I receive

yet another email saying they have not received payment. I look at my

Bank of America on line account and see that the check has cleared. Jeez !!!

 

Later that day, they emailed me saying they had received my check... No

mention of when they were shipping of course... That would have been too

professional. Maybe they will screw up my shipment again and send me

another $138K coin like the last time. However, this time, they can fly out

to pick it up.

 

Oh, yeah, the purchases were only Barbers ; If S/B handled their clients as

Heritage does, I would have already received my coins "on good faith" and

they would have received my check at the same time.

 

Heritage's auction was a week and a half after Stacks' and I will guarantee you

I will have the Heritage winnings long before the S/B's.

 

Sorry for the rant...

 

[jom]

Nothing like customer service!

 

I like S/B because I can go see there coins here locally for any of their auctions. I've also never had issue with service (yet). Their set up here always seems rather disorganized so I can see why they have such issues....

I just got off the phone with Labelman87 - a good friend & Barber Quarter collector;

he just informed me that he has already received his shipments from both S/B & HA.

 

HA normally express mails me my purchases, maybe because I spend too much (?)

 

Seriously, this auction was not all that expensive for me - actually I kept all the newps

under their max for a credit card. Regrettably I had to mail S/B a check. Lowering their

credit card threshold has proven to be a pain. If they extend a certain credit limit ( self

imposed, I might add ) they should honor credit card charges ( especially Debit Cards)

to cover purchases up to their credit limits ( for bidding purposes ).

 

Still ranting - sorry - just I get anxious waiting for my newps. EBay has spoiled me,

everything I buy "BIN" is shipped the next day and I usually get the newps within 3 days !!

 

Patience is a virtue, I know that, I just ran out of patience and no one has called me virtuous

for many years !!

Just finished browsing eBay and added this upgrade to the Dime set:

Just picked this one up on eBay, but the cert number is wrong

according to PCGS - regardless - the coin is genuine - and I'm

just going to have to send them the images once I get the coin

in hand in a week or so...

Many people forget or do not realize that the Liberty nickel is a Barber creation.

I almost forgot when I went to a PM shop. I asked if he had Barbers in his bins in the back, and I already just bought some from the bins, bulk lower grade V Nickels.

[lehigh96]

I bought this 6 years ago after someone freshly dipped it. It has been sitting in my Dansco ever since. I think it is about time to send it to our hosts for a grade.

 

 

What do you guys think it will grade and do you like the secondary toning?

[Old Pueblo]

Haven't posted this one in awhile

Spectacular ms 61 Key Date

[Elbesaar]

 

Lehigh96 - nice 1897 Quarter - how many years has it been in the Dansco ?

I left my Dimes in for close to 16-18 years and they toned up beautifully. I'd

leave the Quarter in a while longer to develop deeper color. Nice coin BTW.

 

OP, the 1886 V Nickel is a really tough date and was the last coin needed

to complete my set. Your's seems nicer than a 61. I bought a no name TPG

AU 53 that I sent into the graders ATS & was lucky to get it back graded, let

alone in an AU 58 holder. No one was more shocked than I was !

 

Thanks guys for sharing your coins. Anyone else have a coin they'd like to share ?

 

Like this one from Mike Valente ?

 

 

[Elbesaar]

 

Picked up another nice Dime for my latest set...

 

 

 

 

 

 

...... and this 1902-O - which is a duplicate - but has the look I like...

 

......................Care to guess the grade ? ..........

I love secondary toning. Sure the coin was dipped but who cares?! There is nothing you can do about that so you make best with what you have. Putting it in a Dansco is perfect. Most of my Bust material has probably seen similar circumstances....

 

Grade? Haven't a clue. 64/65?

[LogPotato]

Mike, love the new 02-O

 

Lehigh, that coin is taking on nice color. I would personally leave it put for a few more years.

Super clean fields..MS 67 would be my guess.

Super nice Barber quarter.

[Elbesaar]

 

The 1897 Quarter is as Jom has guessed,

either a 64 or a 65.

 

The neck chatter [ albeit minimal ] precludes

a higher grade.

 

I like it a lot as well !

 

 

[Elbesaar]

 

 

Won this duplicate 09-S Half last night - albiet not the

cleanest 40 I have seen - just that its a tough coin to

locate in grades above VF 20.

I like it, I like it alot, but if you want to speed it up you could try the egg!!!! I'm just sayin' haha

I sent it to NGC yesterday and I will let everyone know what the grade when I find out. I am hoping for MS64+ or MS65. I purchased it raw at MS64 price.

[Elbesaar]

Lehigh- I have no doubt that it will get into the graded holder you want.

It's a nice coin and I'd be proud to own it as well.

 

 

[Elbesaar]

I am slowly working on a Barber Dime Date Set in MS... only toned coins...

 

I think this'll qualify ............

OK, wait. Didn't you already have a set of Dimes with nice toning? If I remember correctly, I kicked myself not bidding on your pieces when they went to sale. How are these different?

 

jom

[Elbesaar]

 

Jom,

 

I had a few other sets* - but this set only has well toned coins -

and I have about 40% really pretty coins. Check out the NGC

Barber Dime Date Sets... Mike Hayes Mint State Date Set.

 

I believe all the coins are listed and have images attached !

 

{*} - Most coins I buy have toning - and if they didn't - they went

into the Dansco .......like this ... all these coins were once blast white !

 

[moneyhoney]

How are you guys posting these images? Are you using a digital camera? Please advise.

 

 

thank you

[Elbesaar]

 

Photobucket - I download any and all images to my account.

I have a few dozen sub-headings so I can locate images.

 

You should join - its free - as long as you don't swamp them

with images all at once. They limit how much you can use each

month.

 

I finally just opted to pay a few bucks a month for more storage.

Its well worth it.

 

 

[Elbesaar]

 

I hope everyone had a nice Holiday and Happy New Year to all !!

 

As my birthday is quickly approaching, I decided to treat myself -

[ yeah, I know, I'm always treating myself... ]

 

Here's a newp for my Barber Dime MS Date Set:
