Picked this up at the Gardner Sale - Its a PCGS PR 63 CAC:

 

Very strange...these images are on Photobucket .... they should have been ok...
I just got the lap top back from the Geek Squad.... who knows what is wrong, now !!

 

Stunning. I am waiting on an unc 1911 P toned bu. It has good luster from the picture.

 

Thanks, I do not have many Proof BARBERS. Slowly adding Dimes.
I have been playing around with having a MS Toned example of each date
as well as a choice AU55-58.... and now a Proof example of every year .

I'm well beyond the point of ever having a POP TOP set of Barbers - I and a
good friend have a consensus of opinion as to never buy too high brow a coin as
it usually blows the collectibles budget ... So, my Proof Dimes are mostly 64's.
The Newp is a 63 CAC ... I'm pretty happy about it.

 

Here is the latest upgrade for the Dime set:
1902-S - PCGS 58




The dealer who sold me this coin said the vast majority of 02-S's are dipped out.
He remembers my AU 55 - and said it was one of the nicest 02-S's out there.
{ Guess he never saw the Lily Nichole set or Simpson's sets }

Well, for comparison's sake - here is my AU 55 - you be the judge:

 

Honestly, I prefer the 55.

But, both are nice.

 

Frank, I plan on having the 02-S in 58 imaged by the same guy who imaged the AU 55, this Spring. I actually don't pick the 58 up until FUN in Tampa. Its hard to compare Apples and Eggs.

 

Great coins. I'll have to update the photo's of my Barber Dime set. It's coming along.

 

agreed.

Good luck

 

This is an AU 1913 I got for less than 20.00, I've seen it go for much higher in this condition. Tried to get the best pics with the kind of lighting I have.

 

pictures would be far better out of the holder

 

much better,
but...

what is that in front of the face?

Looks like damage

 

If they are scratches, they are pretty even. But why only in that side of the field. You think if someone tried to clean it, the whole surface would look like that. I don't see any other marks on the coin, except there.

 

I'm not a serious Barber collector, but if I were to try a set of halves, this is the look I would be going for.

 

nice original VF

Go for it

 

Wow, awesome coin. A tougher date in the grade as well.
