Some new pick ups.

Nice. Your 1916 doesn't seem to have the reverse die crack.

That 1901-O, though... I'm not sure what to think about it.

 

That 1901 belongs to me. See you in your dreams...lol.

 

It does

 

I must be missing the joke. You're gonna have to drill a new hole in your album for a 1916 Barber Half.

 

My Dansco has quite a few blank holes on the last page. Plenty of room for the 1916 -- in fact, room for an 09-D, 10-D, and 14-D should they ever appear, hint, hint...

Now I have a weird craving for a 1916 worn down to VG or so. But not enough of a craving to pocket-piece one. (Besides, the ASE I've been carrying around for a year or more still isn't showing significant wear; apparently I'm doing it wrong.)

 

Y'know, I kinda like that cross hatched 1901. Wouldn't it be a novel new coin from the mint? Especially if it was given an antiquing treatment and buffed.

 

I like the 1901 , someone put a lot of time into it .

 

nice pickups.

 

You are right no reverse die crack

 

I'm on the fence, but the 01 may be considered tooled by some collectors.

 

I like the 16 because it has some die crack from the 9 - 12 position.

 

Harshly/improperly cleaned 1901 if you ask me.

 

Who took those pictures? They are lovely.

 

I did. Thanks

 

1916 from Daniel Carr. Either $60 or $85 depending on grade for a half ounce of silver. Is that correct?

 

Yes. Much cheaper than a 1915 barber half for the same half ounce of silver.

 

Not to mention 3.1 grams of bronze that happens to have been stamped "1909-S VDB" by a mint that collectors favor...
