As I mentioned - I had Valente151 image all my newps from January 2014 to June 2015....

Here is a coin I thought was AT at first....

 

love it!

 

That 1894 is a nice looking coin

 

Thank you! It is one of my favorites

 

Bought this 1907 NGC 60 & CAC - cracked it and sent it to PCGS ...
Now in a PCGS 62 Holder....has not been to CAC yet !

 

New one for the Dansco.

 

New Barber dime. 1912 unc.

 

Here's a special date.

It's the lowest PCGS pop coin in the half series discarding varieties. I used to own this particular coin, but sold it 2 years ago without realizing it's true potential. Where it's at now, I'll probably never see it again, unfortunately. I've been an avid half collector for the past 4 years and have only seen 4 coins in VF that I deemed acceptable. One was this one, another I referred to a friend while I still had this one, one that was listed on ebay for an astronomical number that is no longer available, and the one I have now. This one that I am posting (that I no longer own) is the best one I have seen in VF. My current one is not as nice. I sure do miss this coin. By the way, I sold Coinmike a solid VG of this date which is hard to find nice as well.

 

LP:

I have a few of this date, a F-12 being the best, and 2 strict VG-08's.

The list price on the VF is $225, is that what you consider astronomical?

 

No, there was a VF 35 listed on ebay for over 1k. Thats what I consider astronomical.

 

and I would agree.

XF trends at $425

what do you think it is worth?

 

So now you made me look at the 02-s barbers and can someone please explain how this is a 67? Aren't the marks across the portrait going to keep it going any higher than a 64/5??

 

I would have paid 500 or so for the coin.

 

I don't dabble on the MS side, but I would say the marks you are seeing are probably in the planchet. It's actually quite a clean looking coin. Whether it's a 67 or not, I don't know.

 

here are most of my 'well circulated' Barber dimes, quarters, and halves:
