,,,No other 1897 images are lurking in my PC...so, its onto 1898...one of my

favorite years, as it was my Grandmother's birth year:

 

The Barber Nickels:

 

[RGT]

Here's one that I have had for a few years and never took pictures of before. I had two grandparents born in 1900, one on each side.

 

It's in an old NGC fatty slab graded MS62. The luster is a bit dull, especially on the reverse, and that's likely what limited the grade.

RGT - Incredible toning !! Thanks for sharing !!

Following up with another 1898 Barber - here's a dime...

My 1916 Barber dime looks like yours, except it's in a PCGS MS63 holder.

[Elbesaar]

Another 1898...

 

PCGS MS 65

I don't know why the Barber series came under such harsh criticism in 1892 and beyond. Miss Liberty was dissed and the eagle barbarque'd. Personally, I've always liked the design and I also think that the coins take wear gracefully.

 

Here's my former NGC PR65 (Now - PCGS PR64 Cameo)

That's high praise coming from you. (thumbs u

 

This, like many of my types, is a Mark Feld coin.

That's Liberty's effigy?

 

I always thought it was Charles Barber's self-portrait!

Here's one more that I don't believe I have shared here before. ANACS MS63.

[EZ_E]

Wow, Randy! You've been holding out on us!

Splendid coins everyone.

 

about Charles Barber's self portrait...

 

I've always admired the design since I was a little kid

and it was the most striking coin [ 1892 Half ] that my

Grandfather had put aside.

 

As this series has had the most concentration of my efforts

I have quite a few to post. Hope a few more collectors - dealers too -

post what they have in their collection - whether or not the coin be in a Type

Set of just an odd coin that they own.

 

Continuing on with 1898 Barbers - here's another one

that I'm very proud of:

 

[Elbesaar]

 

Going out of sequence to show off some Tru View images which I just received from

a Regrade Submission at PCGS... three coins got a nice bump-up...

Following up with 1898 Barbers

 

[Elbesaar]

The MS 65 dime immediately above is in my 1898 Mint Set.

 

This MS 64 dime is in my Barber Dime collection:

Thanks Bob !

 

Staying with 1898 -

 

here's the closest thing I have ever found

of the 1898-O Micro O.

 

Its not designated as such, but, compared

to all the other 1898-O's I have - or - have seen

 

[Elbesaar]

 

As 1898 happens to be one of my favorite dates - I have a "few" halves...

 

here's a sampling:

 

[Just Bob]

It amazes me how you manage to find all of these coins that look PQ for the grade! How do you do it?

[zrlevin]

I am not a Barber collector, per se, but here is the half from my type set:

Not as nice as most posted here, but the best I can do.
