The 1889 "V" Nickels are not for sale... sorry.

 

Here's a tough little dime I just picked up:

 

Edit to say - again I don't understand why the images are not showing;

just the attachments.

 

I'll retry and see what happens - sorry.

EDIT:

I'm sorry I couldn't just edit this Post

but its past its date for editing.

 

I had the images of the 1902-O Dime

resized. I hope they attach now.

 

I tried to post the image at PCGS and

the images are in the wrong file - although

its a JPEG file.

 

Here goes nothin'...

 

[Elbesaar]

 

For whatever reason the file name JPEG on my PC is incorrect -

the correct name should have been JPG - and I can't change it ...

 

Here's an upgrade for my halves -

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

 

Yes indeed a Barber! One of my complete sets and my one of my favs

This scan does not do this beauty any justice. but here it is anyway.

RS8199 - beautiful 11-S Dime

Here's a nice original 1897-S Dime that's coming

That 92 Dime evokes a melancholy emotion in me.....beautiful, muted toning...very graceful looking coin. Thanks for posting it!

[Elbesaar]

 

Rob,

 

Super 92 Dime !!

Rob,

 

Very pretty 11-S - and BTW, Bill contacted me,

and he's thrilled !!

 

Here's my NEWP from Mark Miller's collection

which was sold last night at Heritage's LB Sale:

 

[JIM F.]

Recent Purchase. Tried to find one at Long Beach show, but no 1915's better than VG, and only a handful of 1915's around at all (all low grade). This seems to be pretty tough in Unc, glad I found this one.

[Elbesaar]

I hear ya, I've been looking for an upgrade for the 1915-P myself

and all I can find are VG-VF's - and I'd like an AU 58 !

 

Nice pick up - congrats !

 

Here's a NEWP for the Dime set:

Newest addition to the certified Dime collection...

 

[Elbesaar]

Here's the image of the 1902-O Dime in ANACS 55 that I picked up some time ago - and had trouble posting the image.

 

Its now fixed -

 

[Elbesaar]

Liberty Head Nickels are also Barbers - and this

one is on its way to me now...

 

One sweet Nickel !!

 

[Elbesaar]

 

Although this dime was recently graded - its alot nicer than a 63 - IMHO

...it could just as easily have been in a 65 holder - and I don't think anyone

would argue with the grade. I had the image blown up to fit the entire screen

and there's hardly any distractions - however the toning is a bit heavy but

the coin is very lusterous.

 

[Elbesaar]

Added this upgrade to my Quarter collection.

I would love to see a close-up of that '14-D. Does it look as good in hand as your pic makes it appear?

Its the first AU 58 1914-D Quarter I have been lucky enough to locate.

There are tons of MS examples - and I have a beautiful AU 55 in my set

already. Its just that I want a minimum AU 58 in my set.

 

As far as what its like in hand - I'll have to wait - as I just won this

coin last night at a Heritage auction [ closed 6/25/09]. I blew-up the

images on their site and its a very clean coin. You can check it out

yourself - if you're a Heritage member [ easy to join BTW ] .

 

 

[Just Bob]

Found it. I have a feeling that there might be more color than is evident in the Heritage pics - especially on the reverse. The close-ups just reinforced that feeling.

Had to add this to the Barber Thread - even though I added it to the NEWP Thread:

 

[Elbesaar]

Here's the image of the 1900-P Quarter I picked up the beginning of the month.

 

I'm thrilled to have it:

 

[fishfinder]

gorgeous!

 

[Elbesaar]

When it rains, it pours.

 

I was offered all but one of the missing dates

in my certified dime collection.

 

The images are pretty small - but here goes:

 

[ Can only show four images per post ]

 

Edit: Told you the images were small....

 

Ok:

 

# 1 = 1892-S AU 58

# 2 = 1895-P AU 58

# 3 = 1899-S AU 58

# 4 = 1902-O AU 55

Continued from previous post:

 

Coin # 1 - 1902-S - AU 55

Coin # 2 - 1909-S - AU 58

 

As a side note, the 1909-S Dime is one of the

most difficult ones to locate in any AU grade.

Its a sleeper date, IMHO.
