It's " Barber Sunday!" Post yours also....

Here's one I haven't done yet. I'm calling it "Barber Sunday!". It reminds me of good ole dad taking me to get a haircut on Sunday and on Monday, I would get picked on by classmates.
Anyways, please post a Barber coin of your choice. Here's my only Barber Quarter. ....

I never sat in a barber chair till boot camp, really more of a butcher chair

 

I can't do just a single Barber coin. For your consideration, my Barber type set --



CSNS '86 is around the corner (late April) and I've been saving up for an MS65 or higher quarter to upgrade current scarface. Ideally I can track down a lustrous 1900-1916 one with a little rusty/golden/russet color to match the dime and half.

Beyond the obvious Barber coins, Chuck also designed many classic silver commemoratives; too many to spam in a single Sal thread, even for me

 

Some of my Barber coins:

 

in my 7070

 

These are in my 20th Century set

 

Regrettably, you may need to move that quarter to your 19th century set.


Is this the last year of the 19th century, or the first year of the 20th?

 

@1776. Early this year I had to try and find a new hair dresser for my wife. I found a hair cutting place a few blocks from our house but the fellow was a former Marine hair cutter and said he cut hair for very few women. Then he asked if their was any chance my wife was looking for a "buzz" cut. almost made me die laughing on the spot. James

 

Well, my grandfather was a barber. A deaf barber. Thrown from a government horse.
Anything that was discussed at the barber shop, stayed at the barber shop

 

Never looked to collect Barbers. Found some CRH

 

Lol, you've started a trend. I'll play - here is my Prooflike Barber type set:
1897 Dime, NGC MS-63PL
1900S Quarter, NGC MS-64PL
1898 Half, NGC MS-64PL

 

A tough date.

 

Barbers you say? So many fun things to collect, if you're into this kind of stuff.

Obverse 1 / Reverse 2 and 1/1 RPD Discovery Coin
Obverse 2 / Reverse 2 (AU55)
Obverse 2 / Reverse 3 (AU58)

 

AU-55. Sure wish I had the dime.

 

Whoa.. I've actually never seen a proof-like suffix on a Barber; exceptionally cool type set!!

 

This beauty is the first year of the 1900s but the last year of the 19th century. There was no year 0, so year 1 was the first year of the first century, year 101 the first year of the second century, etc. (And yes, I know the calendar was almost certainly miscalculated by four to six years, so the "corrected" term should be either 1895, 1896, or perhaps 1897, was the first year of the 20th century.)
