    This because I couldn't resist it, Barber halfs are one of my favorites.

    Glad it went to a good home. OK, so I only broke even on the deal, but your purchasing it helped me partially pay for some of my other recent financial indiscretions, so thanks for helping to save me from myself. ;)

    The nice thing about circulated Barbers with this sort of look is that they are easy to image. I did all the pictures of my old VG-F Dansco set of halves with a flatbed scanner and they still came out looking good. (Bright and lustrous coins, on the other hand, are not very scanner-friendly, even though I had a good scanner.)

    I like a good crusty circ Barber that did its time in commerce, got well circulated but not worn flat, and then was unmessed-with after that.

    Gotta echo you on that Lord M..........uncirculateds and brilliant proofs are the toughest to get right in the photog sense. Circulated examples are a breeze to get 'right'............

    Whoops- that one's not a new acquisition, and is in fact long gone. I intended that post for the "Barber images" thread.

    My Ecuador 5000 Sucres 1994, 1936-S Bay Bridge Half Dollar & 1875-S 20 Cent piece are at SEGS getting graded. I picked up an ANACS 1876 20 Cent piece lately in AU-50 but the surfaces looked tooled (you can't see it in the photo so I returned it). Just because a coin was professionally graded doesn't mean it was correctly graded. Amazing ANACS missed this one. Here is the coin:

    Here's another question folks: Of the coins you buy online what percentage of them wind up where you don't like them and have them returned?

    It's well struck but the surfaces seem stripped. Not having the original skin. Looks good for a regular grade but professionally A.K.A. "properly" cleaned. The raw Bay Bridge I photoed most likely has been cleaned as well. Original coins don't have that look.
