Oh. My. Barber. Quarter.

Bought this guy today among some other great and rare coins. I haven't seen such an appealing mint stare Barber coin is quite some time.

It's going to join several of them at CAC this next week.

That is one of the nicest I have seen. The toning is what does it.

And they say barbers are ugly.....

 

It looks like a beautiful coin and one that would go nicely with my Barber half dollar.

 

Exceptionel......a pure beauty and everlasting.
Congs!!!!

 

The toning is really beautiful...and I love how the obverse looks almost Cameo with Liberty's face being in stark contrast (tone wise) with the rest of the obverse.

EDIT: Forgot to add, a big congrats!

 

Peter needs to add one of these to the smilies for a coin like this.
Gorgeous!

 

Wow! The toning on that one is off the charts.

 

Beautiful barber Matt! You don't see them like that too often! Makes me want to share mine...

nice!

 

Simply gorgeous

 

Once you get this back, I hope you'll cross-post to the "Does CAC still give out Gold beans" thread...

 

Very, extremely ugly.

AT- clearly.


Would not grade today.


Uh, knowing that (above) how much do you want for it?



[Doug: J/K of course.]

 

Very nice, even though it's a Barber. Looks proof-like.

 

You stinker. And here with you hoarding the entire run of Barbers.

 

I suppose if you're "into" toning and high grade show stoppers, it's ok...

But really, I would give my left nickel for that beauty.

 

Shoot, I'd have given my right one Greg but I haven't checked lately..........don't know if it's still there. I do know it was there on Tuesday..........

 

so many thoughts, so little time

 

The toning on the reverse is sublime. I can't remember ever seeing a Barber Quarter with pull away toning; look at those stars & date, WOW!

 

Can anyone recommend a coin shop that deals in Uncirculated/AU Barber halves, quarters, and dimes? I've seen so many on ebay, but I don't know just who to trust when it comes to raw Barbers. Would buying a slabbed one and cracking it out be better?

 

Most any coin shop will have such coins, on occasion, but I think you have something more specific in mind. I am a long time Barber collector and dealer so feel free to ask me questions via PM or start a thread and I will help all I can.
