Mike- That 05-S has become the only date that haunts me day and night. U and JT have found AU examples over 2weeks and I have been searching vigorously. Anyway congrats on a nice coin buddy..

I subscribed to your Trickle Down theory but I took it a bit further...

 

and was lucky to pick up the 05-S.

 

I picked up a few Quarters over the weekend as well as an old Dime of mine:

 

PCGS 58 - ex: Tom Casey & ex: Elbesaar - 2011

This was a nice upgrade from my PCGS XF 40.

Hey, Labelman 31 / 87 - nice 1892 Quarter....

Welcome to the US Coin Forums !!

 

 

[mrkbrown8709]

Labelman-Welcome to the other side my friend.. that's a sweet 92. Here's my duplicate 92 I purchased for the sweet tonino which is more stunning in-hand.

[Elbesaar]

 

As I am actively looking for my old coins from previous sets,

I thought I'd show off this old coin of mine....

Jeff,

 

I am looking for the Phila issue if it looks like this. I have a VF 35 that I'd like to upgrade.

A solid 45 - 53 would be my preference !

Mike- there is a 1 93p Xf45 available for $500. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad deal tho.

[Elbesaar]

Mark... Reread... I need a 1913.... Not 1893....

BTW, a 1913 in 45 for $500 is a steal !! An 1893

in XF 45 is not a steal, it's the high end of the asking

prices for a certified coin. $400-425 is a better price, IMHO.

 

Still, I have paid premiums for the right coin... What does

the 1893 look like ?

It's not a 1893. It's a 1913 XF45

[Elbesaar]

 

Not sure if this has been posted before - from last year:

 

The Barber Coin Collectors Society August, 2013 Chicago Meeting.

 

[Elbesaar]

 

Still one of the prettiest raw Dimes I ever had in the Dansco.

 

Now: NGC 58

 

[Elbesaar]

I sent this to Glenn ....

 

any comments ?

 

 

 

 

PCGS 64 - Looks more intense in hand !!

Mike,

I only recognize you and Glenn in the photo.

What a beautiful dime the 02 is. The 06 is amazing as well.

[Elbesaar]

Next time in Baltimore, Mark, make plans on going to

a BCCS Meeting.

 

Spotted this on JJ Teaparty - and grabbed it before

someone else saw what a bargain it was...

I just picked up a raw 1914 AU Barber Half:

 

 

 

I believe it will grade 53, maybe 55. Thoughts?

 

Off to grading soon to find out!

[JeffMTampa]

Here one of my latest set additions- a 1894 in a PCGS AU 58 holder:

 

 

 

I purchased it in a SEGS MS 61 holder and cracked it out. This seems to be a tough coin in a 58!

[JeffMTampa]

And one more recent acquisition- a 1901 S Half in a PCGS AU 50 holder:

 

 

 

I think this coin could be a 53; Mike- what do you think?

[Elbesaar]

 

Jeff,

 

The 1894 in 58 is really stunning and for the Neophytes of this series,

this is a date to recond with. Much more difficult that the average collector

realizes.

 

The 1901-S is undergraded, IMHO, in AU 50. I think a 53 is closer to its actual

grade. Nice coin. I have a 53 in my most recent set and I think it's closer to a 55.

 

The 1914 looks like a lock in 50. Tough coin, as all know. Good luck; who are you

going to send it to ?

 

Thanks for posting. I hope to get a large group of Quarters out to Messydesk next week

as I just have a bunch getting returned from CAC. Once imaged I will get them posted ASAP .

 

 

[JeffMTampa]

Mike-

 

The 1914 will be heading off to PCGS. I don't drink the Kool Aid, but I'm learning what Barber people want. As I already have a '14 PCGS AU 58 this one will be up for sale.

 

I only wish it would have been a 13 or 15- I need an AU in both!

 

I'll likely resubmit the '01 S, but I suspect I'll need to crack it to get an upgrade.

[benjmurts]

Just picked this one up, not the greatest but still nice

[Elbesaar]

 

Picked up a few Quarters - but only have some of the images...

 

Here are the ones I do have pictures of...

A few weeks ago I posted pictures of a raw AU 1914 Barber Half I purchased off eBay at a "Buy it Now" auction at a "too good to be true" price. Here are the images again:

 

 

I sent the coin to PCGS for grading; I was hoping for a 55. The results posted last night; the coin came in at an AU 58! Needless to say I'm very pleased with the results, but now I'm the proud owner of two '14 PCGS AU 58's (I already had one). What are the odds of that happening? I've been searching years for a nice '13 or '15 and I stumble across two AU 58 '14's in less than a year.

 

I'm open to trade offers on one of these; I'm not sure which one I'll keep. The one pictured has a great story, but my first one is a nicer coin (pictured in my NGC set with a green bean). I'm in need of a nice '96 O, '97 O, '01 O, '04 O, '04 S, '09 O, '13, and '15.
