Another newp from the Tom Casey collection - TCP-III -

 

[Elbesaar]

 

A recent addition - from a Heritage Internet auction:

 

[123cents]

Those are two very nice Barber Dimes Elbesaar.

[Elbesaar]

I received the Baltimore Stack's auction catalog and there's

a nice 1892-O Micro O listed.

 

Edited to add: This NGC 62 - sold for $19,000 plus 15% Buyers Fees.

 

A bargain, IMHO.

 

 

 

 

My mistake - sorry - the $19K sell price was for a previous sale

as the new Stack's sale is for Baltimore is the end of the month.

 

I'm more than curious what this coin will close at.

This coin completes my old Whitman album:

Another set completed. Well done! (thumbs u

A fellow Barber Dime collector is upgrading his set

and replacing his AU 58's with MS coins.

 

I was able to pick up five coins I needed for the

Certified Collection.

 

The following are all PCGS 58's:

images per post - I'll break up the newps. ]

1911-S - what I have not seen for many years: "Dappled Toning"

 

I usually encountered this type of toning on Liberty Head Nickels

in the past. The seller mentioned he hated this type of toning but

I find it to be very original:

The NGC 62 Micro O failed to sell - or for that matter - failed to receive

a bid on the Stack's auction of 3/23/09.

 

Very tough coin to locate - and once sold - it may not resurface again

for many years. The consignor, HLRC, will be happy to discuss terms

on this coin for anyone so inclined.

 

PonyExpress8 & Elbesaar discussed this coin at great legnth while at FUN

this past January. PonyExpress8 was seriously thinking of buying the NGC 62

as its a good shot at a 63 - but - I bought the Shireman PCGS MS 63 - and PonyExpress8 bought Elbesaar's PCGS AU 55. Leaving the NGC 62 flapping in the breeze.

Just picked up a small group of Dimes:

 

Here's the first one: 1893-O - PCGS 58:

 

[Elbesaar]

 

1893-S - PCGS 55

 

[Elbesaar]

 

1894-O - PCGS 58

 

[Elbesaar]

 

1907-D - PCGS 55

 

[Elbesaar]

 

1909-D - PCGS 58

 

[Elbesaar]

 

1914-S - PCGS 58

 

[Just Bob]

1894-O - PCGS 58

 

 

 

Are you assembling a 55 set and a 58 set, or are these for one high AU set?

[Elbesaar]

 

Bob,

 

I'm just putting together a choice AU 55+ certified set -

although AU 58 is my grade of choice. Its rare to be able

to acquire so many choice AU coins at the same time.

 

I also have the same quality coins in raw state in a Dansco

which I started back 15 years ago. I love the raw set and hate

to break it up.

[Elbesaar]

 

1900-S PCGS 55

 

[Elbesaar]

.

 

One of the more difficult dates to locate, IMHO:

 

1899-O PCGS AU 58

 

Sorry for the small images.

The original images were at 330Kb & too

large to post; now they're too small...

Interesting you should mention your Grandfather! The set I am trying to complete is a inheritance from GrandDad! When I got the set in one of those old blue "press the coin" cardboard plates it was 60% complete. I have added the rest of the coins , Plus upgraded the "poor" coins that were in the set.

I will pass the set to my son when it complete.

1897-P Half - PCGS 63
