Justin: 98-S [ you: 30/35 ] - Two Old Barber Coots : VF 35 01-P [ you: 25 ] .... - """""""""""""""""""""""""""" : VF 25 01-S [ you: 15 }.... - """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" : VF 20 Good job !
ha ha ha ... fat chance of my cracking out that 04-S for the Dansco... here the coin that was going in the Dansco - but it received a reprieve...
Justin, Its in a VF 30 Holder - I thought it could have gone just as easily into a 35 as well. The 04-S immediately above is in a VG 10 Holder. That was the look I first started to collect back when you were just a twinkle in your Daddy's eyes. LOL
Some more guesses. 98P - Could be a 20, but they might net it to a 15 because of the marks 15D - 30 15S - 15 00O - 15 pics are iffy 02S - 10 same comment as above 06O - 12 same comment as above 10S - 20 12S - 12 13P - 12 14P - 12 15S - 12 04O - 20 pics are too blurry to really tell
You guys gotta check out this listing on ebay. Talk about monster mid grade Barber halves. Wow! She will fetch a nice premium. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1897-S-Barber-Half-PCGS-VF25-CAC-Key-Date-/251008647399?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D15%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6936963533929554963
Duke - Yes - its a seldom offered coin in a PCGS slab. It's a nice Mid grade VF coin - with supply & demand Issues . It's bound to go for crazy money ( at least for the casual Barber Collector ) ; I paid $620 for a PCGS 20 this past December - and it's not for sale. I have another also in a PCGS holder - graded AU 50 - which is coming with me to Baltimore - and is for sale.
oi! I think I may have purchased a fake 1913-s dime from a dealer. I'm going to have some local coin shops give me an opinion...
LP - All good guesses - the coins are in the bank, and my notes are sketchy. You'll see them soon. Promise.
Very attractive coin - Looks like it could be a 40 and on a good day a 45. What say you ? Anyone else ? BTW, LP, owning a coin adds 5 points to its grade...:yes:
Save your gas money - show us - there are a dozen graders and authenticators on these Forums. Here's my old 13-S for comparison:
