A Dansco Album Collection

Awesome collection!!! I want them all!!!!!

I think that 1892-O looks great as well. You need to remember with Barber coinage quite often you'll run into weak strikes which can often be confused with wear, especially on the New Orleans coins. You see it most often on the obverse stars, especially on the lower couple that correspond to the eagle wingtips on the reverse. And you also see it on the eagle's shield on the reverse sometimes. For example, my 1909-O MS65 Half as a slight weakness to the upper right of the shield which some may think is wear upon first glance... but it most certainly not.

I'd like to see the 94 and 99, are they cleaned?

 

Thanks for sharing this, I and others are picking up some good tips here. I am sticking with certified coins for my circ Barber halves.

 

I think that's a good idea, did you see the Barber half I posted on my thread, "A Cautionary Tale"?

 

I missed it, could you link it if it is not a problem? thanks
