Now that's an attractive Barber dime!

Really nice Barber, Michael.

Not to steal your thunder, but here is a Barber dime that I thought was stunning. Anaconda was selling it about 2 years ago and I thought several times about buying it. Even thought I don't like the design, I thought the coin was stunning.

 

1894 Barber 10¢ PF66

hi there greg

hey no problem

i like to see great coins and then we all learn and can all share our knowledge and experiences and are always friends first!!

 

very nice 1894 proof dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

but

 

remember the most important part about this business strike coin as compaired to its neatly toned proof counterpart

 

the business strike is many times rarer as compaired to the proof strike because of its business strike status in combination with its fantastic color and booming lustre and especially so its originality

 

sincerely michael

 

you can sometimes find great exceptional original toned barber dimes in proof but rarely find exceptionally original toned gem business strike examples

Well, if we are going to share Barber dimes here then I might as well post this one. It's a PCGS MS66 1911-D.

 

Greg, does your coin have a partial fingerprint on the obverse in front of Ms. Liberty? It looks like it.

[michael]

wow tom that 1911 d is a good looking coin fantastic!!!!

 

 

superlative!!

It's not "my" coin as I didn't end up puchasing it. It got sold before I even could bring myself to buy it. It does look like a partial print.

Should I tell you about the 4 Barber dimes I've dug out of the ground over time, including a key date 1896-S? (Ok, wife dug that one)

[michael]

yes it is a partical print from being pushed into the albim years and years and years ago

 

but i have found many many lots!!!!!!!!!! of not only great but monster toned coins have this added on feature......

 

just the way it is

 

from the scan the coin still looks superb though i would love to see it in person to confirm its status as either good great or monster

There's something real nice about that pinkish reddish coppery toning that stays mostly off the devices, and I can tell from the photo, that in person, it must be quite lusterful. A really beautiful coin.

[michael]
