In two weeks sixty two of the seventy three coins in the set sold. So, you can see, he has a large client base who seek his help with their collections. He specializes in Barbers - and I have bought and sold to him for years.

I am always on the prowl looking for &quot;just that right coin&quot; for other collectors as well. Last week I steered another Barber Quarter collector towards two upgrades in PCGS AU 58 that he ended up buying at auction. [ An auction that was completely held with out fan fare in any publication or on any coin web site. I stumbled accross it the evening before the auction - and I threw in a bid myself - and won - an 1893-P Half in ANACS 58 with a TDR.] My Barber Quarter collector friend was thrilled to have me as his point gaurd. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best of luck !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
