[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 190083, member: 6763"]As Doung said, a date & Mint set. But, I also realize that I will never finish my Barber dimes, quarters and half dollars. I am always upgrading them, and finding varieties, both listed and unlisted. That is the fun of this hobby, there is no real end in sight. A couple of weekends ago I was able to get a Barber half: an 1897 O, in XF that was a real upgrade for my set. When I studied it later I realized that it had a clear repunched mintmark (RPM) that is unlisted. In addition, when Flynn was asking for contributions to his books on dimes quarters and half dollars, I was able to get quite a few listed. (Not that he was grateful, nice guy that he is.) Also, I was the discoverer of the 1909 s (inverted S) half dollar, that was written up in Coin World (and is now listed in Cherrypickers, without credit, ). Oh well, that is the down side of the hobby, but I am still looking and writing and accumulating. Love the hobby, could live without some of the writers.[/QUOTE]
