Dan Carr GTG Barber Half.

I have all ways wanted to learn how they grade these. So, this should be fun.

MS 64

I'm guessing this is the bulk version? For those it seems like the grade ends up being MS 63 or 64. For the high grade version, I pretty much always see MS 69 (maybe an occasional 68 if there is some flaw; MS 70 is said to not be given at all for these overstrikes by Anacs).

 

Tough to call. I do love the die cracks on the reverse. I might say MS-65.

 

Does anyone of the 3 TGP, have a price guide for Mr. Carr pieces ?

 

No, but Ebay completed sales will do.

Picken'....I'm saying 68, looks better than "bulk" to me.

 

This was already slabbed, that's what I used for my reference.

 

@ddddd when these are sent in, do they know what they are grading, bulk VS high grade?

 

Same here, they were what sold the coin.

 

Generally yea, a lot of people just send them in his flips. Theoretically you could maybe pull a better grade from a bulk one but I kind of doubt it.

 

Mighty neat coin, particularly since the last year of the Barber halves was 1915!

 

That's kind of the point.

 

Ah, a Dan Carr coin. It looked too good to be true.

 

MS64

 

It’s pretty much like @baseball21 said. They theoretically know, but aren’t often forced to make a judgement call since people send in the Carr flip (I did the one time I submitted some Carr items).

 

I'm guessing MS65. But I wouldn't be surprised at MS66.

 

Does anyone else have a Graded O/S, for comparison? To possibly help discern there grading tier for these Tokens, I am with @Rick Stachowski It would be nice to have a reference for them.

 

Counterfeit ms details

 

I have the high-grade proof-like cameo version. Graded PL MS 69 DCAM.

If you like, I can easily post photos. But it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, so probably not much help.

BTW, do you know if yours is a bulk-handled version? Or high-grade (MS 67+)?

 

Definitely a bulk handled.I didn't doubt it, seems to me that a 64 is closer to a 68 grade, if the Bulk handled coins top out at 65.

 

Actually NGC adds a note which says “Counterfeit - not encapsulated” ;-)
