Yeah, it worries me as well, it's some sort of hard gunk, there's some on the reverse too around the perimeter letters.

For 28$ nothing on that coin worries me.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the offer. The last three are the 92 O. the 96 S and the 97 S. I think for these last key dates, I'm going to need to start hitting the coin show circuit again. I want to see them in hand before I buy.

That 92 S arrived yesterday. Here are my photos I promised. She's probably had a wipe at one point in her 120 year journey, you can see some hairlines on the field in front of the nose. But I'm still very pleased with her. Perfect fit for my DANSCO and the look I'm cultivating for these American classics.

I picked up this 1901 Barber half at a coin show recently. The world "DOLLAR" seems to be doubled.

Just picked up this quarter recently for $30. My first Barber

man oh man do my photos make the coins look crappy. Its a great tool for picking out all the imperfections but they always look way better in hand.

Here are a few new ones - the quarters came from a large batch of barber quarters I just purchased and the half I recieved about 10 days ago




On this next one - I was happy when I saw the reverse but then I flipped it over haha



The pictures do not do this next one justice - very nice in hand and 99% of the marks are on the 2x2

This one wouldn't fit

You have the sickness, my friend.

Nice new pick-ups.

It has been a little while since I have purchased any new Barber coinage but I think I made up for some lost time. This is without the most beautiful Liberty Nickel I have ever owned! The pics do absolutely no justice. It has full gem luster with virtually no marks and a light blanket of violet toning! Let me know what you think

Another 'bay purchase. I have been trying to slow down, but couldn't let this guy pass.

BTW - LP - that's a great 96-O - ... remember you're saving for a new home, Mr. Newlywed....

Mike, Log Potato...I ALMOST bought my second Barber half today. ALMOST! Due to budget I can only afford to look through the junk bins. Usually I can find a Barber that still has decent detail left. Sadly, today was not one of those days. All of their halves were almost slick. I mean, the obverse looked like Mike's avatar. Just a sillhouette of Liberty.

I DO have the Barber sickness, but sadly could not get my fix. Hopefully soon, as I really want something that looks better than my 1907 (one and only Barber half).

Hi all,

First off, sorry for not getting back to you all for so long. Here's the toned '03 that originally got me hooked on Barbers... I've been infected!





Sorry for low quality of pic,
C.J.
