58s are great. Just as attractive as an UNC and much cheaper.

 

Its been my grade of choice since I was in High School in the 60's.

My latest - for the everyman set ATS:




Notice the strike thru on the REV shield.

 

Oh, yeah, I forgot:

 

I soaked this in acetone for probably two months. It's a little cleaner than before, but not near what I would like. Any suggestions?

 

ExSkyWarrior: I wish I knew how to help you. If that was in acetone for that long - and it still looks like that - I'd send it to NCS - { conservator part of NGC }...I think
they would be the best place to help. I would not recommend the other TPG service - I have been disappointed too often and end up paying beaucoup bucks for absolutely no service at all.

 

Thank you Elbasaar. That's probably what I'll do, I think the coin is worth the expense and I don't have that much wrapped up in it. I took a better photo that shows more of the color. Thx again.

 

Since I picked up the 1907 Phila Quarter in PCGS 58 - I sent it to CAC -
where it beaned ! Pretty stoked about that. I have a 61 - which I bought raw
and hoped it would 58 for my Everyman collection - but - PCGS thought it
a touch nicer than a 58 - and graded it MS.

I also picked up a few others since my last post:

Bought this raw on ebay - expressed it thru PCGS - got the coin back with in
a week - and I was [again] hoping for a 58 - nope: MS 63:




Spotted this AU 58 CAC - and it upgrades my AU 55 - which is in a Heritage auction in January:






Found a choice Proof 1892 Dime in 63 CAM - and its a really beautifully
toned coin ! I'm concentrating on 1892 - 1900 Proof Dimes [ 63, 63+, 64,
64+'s ] Not planning on going nuts - as 65-68's a bankers coins.




The other night I grabbed this on a BIN on eBay - its a duplicate - but
its 1/2 the price of my other AU 58:




Found this on CRO - and again, its an upgrade for another
I am selling at Heritage's FUN auctions:






I think that's about it for now....

 

WOW Elbasaar, just WOW

 

A recent Cross Over to PCGS - Yes, its still in a 58 holder - but now, its CAC'd.

 

A Christmas present for my cousin's Son, who I got hooked on Barbers...





A set I like a lot - but have not paid too much attention to: My V Nickel Proof Set:

The newp:

 

I think this one has decent eye appeal for the grade it's nice and clean no major distractions and most of all the price was right. A nice clean strike. It's graded EF 40 by ICG

 

Although this one didn't stay with me very long she still was a looker. I think I'm just going to end up sending in my 1907-S that has the repunch MM.


The book is also a recent addition to my numismatic library.



Still waiting for my 1894-O Dime that's been "missing" in the mail for 22 days now. Staying hopeful

 

Some more. All sellers pics until I get them in hand. Except the 1909. and I tossed in the 1912 for good measure. that's all my barber quarters to date

 

Thinking of sending this in for grading.

Based on actual graded coins, I'd call it a VF25.

 

Nice coin. That's the look I really like.

 

I couldn't resist.

 

Very enjoyable to see others posting Barbers - carry on....
