Bought this off heritage the other night. A slight upgrade to my current 15-D, so that one will go to the for sale pile.

 

Hey dimeguy, I know it isn't your first Barb, so you are already initiated. That dime is definitely XF.

 

I don't think I've shared this Quarter here before...



or this one either for that matter .....

Those are two tough pieces!

Congrats on the acquisitions

 

The other three I own were impulse buy...no real consideration other than, "Hey, there's a dime I don't have!" This one I actually attempted to eyeball for eye appeal and grade...albeit incorrectly, but I'm learning.

 

No mine - they are on a consignment from a friend...

 

I'm reading this book right now called Double Eagle. You can guess what it is about, but man oh man did Saint-Gaudens dislike Charles Barber! Two huge names in American coins clashing on multiple occasions!

Is that 1902 S PL?

looks like it could be.

 

The 1902-S is very much a PL,
just not as intense as a Morgan.

 

I thought so.

I have a couple and agree, they are not as intense as Morgans, but still very pretty.

 

Another PL Barber Half - PCGS 64 + CAC

 

Seen that coin in hand.....Amazing. Definitely PL.

 

Elbe:

Another beauty!

 

Ok Ok - I guess I should bring this thread back to earth . I just have a hard time saying no to barbers - even when they're worn down to AG-G. I find it easier to say no to quarters and dimes but not that easy - just not in the photo now.

 

I love seeing coins spread like that. Nice pile of halves!

 

yesterday, my Barber dime was confirmed to be a fake by one of my favorite coin shops.

I am going to try and post images. of course, it's hard to see cuz my cell phone is bad.

There is bubbling (or maybe corrosion on it). I had three people at the LCS look at it. they all said it was a fake. They told me to take it to ANA (during the upcoming Long Beach show).

 

Its hard to tell what is wrong, without it being in hand. If its a fake - its a good one - all I thought from these images is that
the luster is stripped - and for an XF + coin - it has no punch. The 1913-S is a very tough date and a good friend tried to
win a PCGS 55 on Teletrade the other night - when asked what I thought would win it - I said $720 with the juice. It sold
for $650 + the juice. So, I was even short. My friend max'd his bid at $625 - and thought that was a stupid bid.

Show it to folks at ANACS for a free opinion. If they say its good - then submit it to PCGS for a Genuine Holder.

Regardless... good luck !!!

 

My newest Barber... an upgrade from a PCGS 55 [ pulled from pocket change by my Grand Father ] for this :

 

I don't see any rub on that V-nick, that's a great 58.
