Thanks Yankee. Acutally, I think this part of my collection will by far be the easiest to sell, I just may have to take a loss on it if I need to...
I started out going for a full set of these, but they are starting to really eat into my coin budget!!! Still like them though and I guess I see...
Plus, if the price difference on a "sealed" set vs. and "unsealed" set really isn't too much, I think it would be a lot of fun and worth at least...
Agreed. I didn't like them when I first started collecting. But once I bought a few high grade examples, it's now one of my favorite series. [IMG]
Never heard that theory before. But when I went back to read a Barber Quarter article I had saved it said the following: "There is really no...
This one is probably my most expensive circulated coin. The only overdate in the St. Gaudens $20 series too. [IMG]
I sort of agree with your comments about the G06. I would love to find a better looking example w/o the exposed copper, but I think there are...
Just did some searching and found a 1960 DDO dime FS-102 graded PF66 on L&C Coins website offered for $375. Seems there are a few other more minor...
Never seen it myself, but page 155 of the 2010 Redbook lists a 1960 proof DDO dime being worth $350 in PF65... perhaps its a misprint??
Pretty cool contest!! Of course 1908 makes me sad since I'm a Cubs fan and that's the last time they were MLB Champions :(
I think there are folks out there who may pay a premium for those toned Kennedys. Silver Kennedys are very very common, but coins toned like...
Great post, thanks for bumping it up :) Definitely agree about the not relying too heavily on magnification. When I started collecting again a...
I originally purchased the 1909-S Half in an NGC MS65 holder. After talking to a couple of Barber Half experts the general consensus was that this...
I think average proof sets from the early 60s are worth around $12-$15 each. The 1960 is worth a little more since you might have the small date...
:thumb: Great thread Mark!! Wish I would have read something like this about two to three years ago ;)
Very good advice to look at auction prices realized. Unlike the price guides, the basis of which can be unclear and/or outdated at times, auction...
Thanks for the nice comments on the 1909-S. Always love that semi-key date. Not quite as key as the 1909-S VDB though :thumb: [IMG]
Would love to see some pics of your 1908-S Indian Head Cents too!! So post them if you got them :thumb: Here's a few more that I bought raw and...
FYI, Our 5th President, James Monroe also died on Independence Day but 5 years later (July 4, 1831).
I used to not like Barbers very much... until I bought a few really nice ones!!! Now I love them. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The design/coin I...
