Nice!

and a very tough coin

 

1916 barber dime, the most beautifully toned coin I own. Almost 100 years too!

 

More Barber dimes added to the collection.

 

Bought this raw cause I liked the color and thought I could make money on it. Thought it'd go 55 tho

 

very pretty

 

Beautiful. Wish mine looked like that!

 

Sold this one this summer probably shouldn't have liked it better then my higher grade type set one

 

Nice group of Dimes, thanks for sharing them.
I love the two Quarters. That 1905 is vividly toned and
the 1892 Ty 2 is subtlety toned, but both are really choice.
Sort of surprised the 1905 did not get a Star Rating at NGC.

I recently was able to cherry pick a collection called Surf City,
which belonged to Don Willis of PCGS. He consigned it to the Gals
at JJ Teaparty, who I have known since they both worked for
Dave Bowers in Wolfeboro, NH.

I don't have images, yet, but here are the Quarters I upgraded to AU 58:
1894-S, 1907-D, 1908-O ( RPD ) and 1908-S. I consigned the 1908-S in
AU 53 to PCGS to JJ Teaparty ( where I had originally bought it ).

I only bought one Half for my best Half Set: ( whose image I can't figure out
how to display here ) it's the 1898-S in AU 58. Really beautifully Amber toned
with lots of luster.

 

Look at you guys, just buying MS Barber coins left and right. I wish I had some MS barbers, but I don't have any recent Barber purchases besides an unslabbed 1908-D dime you can find in the "What's it Worth" section.

Anyway, Barbers are real underrated and only look unattractive in worn down grades. In high grades, I like the design, even though Liberty might be just a bit man-like.

 

Liberty? I always thought that was Nero...

 

Someone once asked me if that was Caesar on barber.

 

It's Caitlyn Jenner

 

It never fails, someone always has to come in a Barber thread and complain about how the design looks like a man or how ugly they are etc. As if it's never been stated before.

Back to the program, my newest half.

 

Nice coin. And apologies for my Henny Youngman joke.

 

I don't mind the design but I don't love it either. I do like them when they got real nice color. I find barber coins to tone attractively And as a dealer better date or better grade coins seem to sell

 

@Omegaraptor

I just noticed your 'tag line'.

Q: Why did the Buffalo Nickel and the Standing Liberty Quarter have to dance with each other?
A: Because they didn't have dates.
LOL.......
