<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 414801, member: 15309&quot;]Here is the story behind the 1892-O.&nbsp; I purchased this coin from an E-Bay seller for MS62 money because I believed that the coin was BU based on the photos.&nbsp; Because I was uneducated about the series, I did not notice that there was obvious wear on the high points of the reverse (eagle&#039;s claws).&nbsp; When I received the coin, I still thought it was BU until years later when my numismatic education advanced enough for me to realize the coin was AU.&nbsp; This seller did a very good job (IMO) of creating a look of a lustrous BU coin by photographing the coin at an angle.&nbsp; Another example of how a good coin photo makes all the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892-OMS63UncertifiedO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892-OMS63UncertifiedR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892-ORawAUObverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892-ORawAUReverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
