<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 3677267, member: 42034&quot;]When I passed my Coin collecting merit badge in Boy Scouts, the couselor showed me a wooden bench his son made in shop that had a Barber Quarter nailed [thru the coin] into it&#039;s top.&nbsp; The whole surface was then shellacked over.&nbsp; IMO it was a really nice one: nicer than any I had ever seen at a coin shop.&nbsp; It had a full sharp Liberty, had to be a strong VF at least.</p><p><br /></p><p>He then commented, &quot;If I had known that he would do that in class, I would&#039;ve given him a really high grade Barber to work with&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;m not making this up. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin sort of reminds me of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, sorry, just saw that you bought it.&nbsp; Well 1904-S is a much better date in high grade but then the coin appears badly cleaned.&nbsp; As long as you got it at a really good price tho.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
