Thread: Post your Barber Images

Here is the quarter - for some reason the photos keep overlapping in that post

Here's a novelty gift for the Barber nut in your family! If you're interested, there's one for sale on eBay right now.

Nice photoshop they did.

Picked up this duplicate from Glenn Holsonbake

I finally got one! Was out with my dad today on my lunch break and we swung by the coinstore. I looked through their Barber quarter bin, and picked out the best New Orleans minted quarter I could find. Honestly, it was one of the better ones in there all together. I specificly went after a New Orleans minted coin because I love having coins from a mint like New Orleans that is no longer minting coins.

Here she is, my first Liberty Head Quarter-Dollar. Now I have one of each demomination: Dime, Quarter, Half, and a V-nickel. By the way, the dark spot you see on Liberty's cap is NOT a hole, but a smudge of some sort.

I have wanted to have these two coins professionally imaged since I bought them last Fall.
They both came from Andy Lustig - and I have coveted them both for years - now, I can
look at them at leisure anytime I am at the bank's safe deposit boxes.

The 1895-O Dime - aside from being the Key Date collectable in that series, is Unique for the date.





The 1898 Quarter - is Unique for the entire Barber Quarter Series - as a Die Cap - Full Reverse Brockage.

Stunning in hand and in the photos. Two very cool coins. Thanks for posting these, Mike.

Those things are amazing - I stare at them for 10 minutes and they don't seem real

One of my newps from Baltimore had a Tru View image attached to it when I registered it ATS:

Just closed on this duplicate -




Looks like it could easily slip into the next grade, IMHO...

I just posted a nice newp I landed yesterday - and I got to thinking
why did I buy this coin ? I had a nice VF 30 and last month, I picked up
a beauty of an XF 40.

Well... lets see these three coins side by side... its an edification for myself as well:

PCGS VF 30:

PCGS VF 35: {CAC}





PCGS XF 40: It seems as if there is a problem posting too many images on a thread...so... I'll add the XF 40 below:
:

PCGS 40 [ no holder image ]

I like them all - but i'll take the one holdered as a 35

Jim,

LOL, I just bought that coin last night - I don't have it yet !!

But - anything is possible - PM me anytime if you have a question.

Now look at the difference a few letters can make. I meant to say I'd take the 35, if I had the 3 to choose from. I wish I was in the market for that coin, but alas, I'm creeping.
