	10C	1892	MS64+	PCGS 31334399	Gem	HOLD $475	Gem Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels. A marvelous 1892 Barber dime for type. Radiant luster has a frosted texture while the cartwheels are most vibrant under angled lighting. This little piece screams eye appeal with GFRC images accurately illustrating the coloration along with a single tick on the cheek. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	10C	1893	MS65	PCGS 16938928	Gem	$1085	Superb Eye Appeal, Gem Original, Swirling Cartwheels, CAC Approval. Barber dime mintage saw a dramatic reduction during the 1893 production year with most entering circulation rather than being saved as a first year of design issue. The 1893 CAC approved population also shows a sharp decrease from 216 to only 46. This 1893 offering is an obvious gem with rich frosty luster and swirling cartwheels. Obverse toning is mostly olive-gold with some variegated patterns. Reverse toning is exceptional with peripheral gold and lighted shades at the center. The slightest chatter in the right obverse field accounts for the assigned grade though eye appeal is superior. There is a small cud on Liberty's cap near ST(A)TES that will identify the die. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. CDN CAC guide is presently $1090.
	10C	1893	MS63	PCGS 39354068	Gem	$450	Superb Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Hammered Strike.

Light obverse center rose is framed by an aquamarine ring with thin peripheral gold at the denticles. Varying shades of gold from yellow to copper-gold are seen on the reverse. A gem at the certified gray and guaranteed to illicit a few wows upon arrival. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	10C	1893-O	MS64	PCGS 05124522	Choice	$1200	New May 2! Granular Frosted Luster, Light Gold Toning, Choice Surfacesl, New Orleans Collection. A second year Barber design issue with a meager 1,760,000 pieces struck. Mint State certified survivors peak at MS63 with only 28 at the MS64 level. In full gem, this date is quite rare. The New Orleans Collection is releasing a near-gem example that is housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder as are many of this consignor's coins. Luster is unquestionably frosted due to granular mint bloom on the obverse while the reverse tends to the steely side of things. Light greenish-gold toning is more prevalent on the obverse. Strike is complete with several obverse die cracks. Most notable is a die crack from STAT(ES) through top feathers and into (OF). A pleasing example overall at a fair price.
	10C	1898	AU58	PCGS 43241925	Choice	$175	Splendid Eye Appeal, Brilliant Satiny Luster, Eroded Dies. A lovely 1898 Barber dime struck from hevily eroded dies resulting in brilliant luster with a satiny texture. Angled lightling also exposes vibrant cartwheels. Toning adds more character. Another offering from the "top of the ladder" of a recently purchased color collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder.
	10C	1899-O	EF45	PCGS 13336982	Choice	$185	New April 26! Better Date, Golden-Gray, Choice Overall, New Orleans Collection. Golden shades are overlaid on the grayish surfaces. Steely luster is more evident on the reverse due to limited toning. Choice overall and certainly acceptable for the certified grade. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1901-O	EF45	PCGS 11519326	Original	$110	Old Album Toning, Near-Choice Original, New Orleans Collection. Bright light viewing is where this 1901-O circulated Barber dime excels. Angled lighting exposes rose and blues on the obverse while the reverse sports a rainbow periphery. A very nice piece overall. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1901-S	EF45	PCGS 19579798	Choice	$925	Challenging Date, Superb Eye Appeal, Pristine Surfaces, Light Wear . This better date 1901-S Barber certainly has the eye appeal credentials with its golden gray patina and steely reflective surfaces. Under a bright light, the peripheral aquamarine-gold rings are that much more pronounced. An exciting date as the mintage is slightly less than 600,000 resulting in scarcity throughout the circulated grades. In terms of CAC approval, this example sits at the distribution mid-point with 24 lower and 20 higher. The issue is that prices begin to rapidly accelerate in AU or higher rending this offering as a compelling yet wise choice. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	10C	1904-S	AU58	PCGS 24104152	Choice	$1500	Very Scace and Challenging CAC Approved, None Finer Through MS64. 1904 San Francisco strikes are scarce due to low mintage and heavy circulation up through the Depression Era. In Mint State, none are CAC approved until the MS64 or better level. The lone three CAC approved AU58s are the only alternatives for those seeking a choice specimen at fair value. This fresh offering is one of the three AU58s with green bean approval. Fields exhibit steely surfaces that are entirely without abrasions. Strike is thoroughly executed on both sides with the reverse being quite impressive in terms of minute wreath details. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder with CAC approval.
	10C	1905-O Micro O	AU53	PCGS 13386836	Choice	HOLD $1250	New May 16! Sacarce and Popular Variety, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces, New Orleans Collection. The Barber dime Micro O is the major die variety of the series and results from the usage of a quarter denomination mintmark being erroneously placed on a dime reverse die. Yes, the quarter mintmark is rounded and 1/2 the size of the more oval dime mintmark. This variety quickly enjoys a strong premium is higher circulated grades. The New Orleans collection has released two examples with this offering being the higher graded at AU53. I like this piece a lot for its natural coin gray toning and unblemished surfaces. It was sent to CAC where it did not sticker as a borderline coin on grading. Fairly priced and ready for a new home. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1905-O Micro O	VF25	PCGS 13624429	Choice	$300	New May 16! Micro O, Mid-Circulated Grade, Strictly Original, New Orleans Collection.

This mid-circulated grade example presents mottled gray toning on the obverse while olive tinted gray covers the reverse. Surfaces are steely and fully original. Also submitted to CAC without approval but the fact that it was sent means the coin is strong in my eyes. Another New Orleans Collection offering that is fairly priced. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1909	MS65	NGC 3312073005	Gem	$425	New May 10! Granular Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Pristine Surfaces.

	25C	1892	MS65	PCGS 44945961	Gem	$835	Superb Eye Appeal, Reverse Mounted Forward, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Sooner Collection. This 1892 Barber quarter is an unquestionable gem regardless of the uneven obverse toning. The reverse is mounted forward to showcase is brilliant frosted luster that amplifiers its rose-orange centers surrounded by peripheral gray-blue. Bright light viewing is a joy as the cartwheel action is vibrant and pleasing. Obverse toning is a combination of copper gold and edge grays. The luster and cartwheels are consistent on both sides.

	25C	1892	MS60	NGC 2654490015	Choice	$235	Frosted Luster, First Rate Eye Appeal for Type, Light Rub. MS60 has always been an odd grade, especially for earlier silver type coins. This lovely 1892 Barber quarter has been certified as MS60, but in reality should be in an AU58 holder and is priced accordingly. Frosted luster is consistent on both sides with varying grayish shades. A 10x inspection confirm light rub on the cheek though the overall eye appeal is first rate. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	25C	1896-O	MS65	PCGS 06866778	Gem	HOLD $7000	New May 7! Gem Original, New Orleans Collection.. This GFRC-rated Gem is among the condition census at CAC, with just three pieces finer in the CAC population report. The 1896-O is already one of the keys in the New Orleans Barber quarter series, and the stellar preservation of this example creates a compelling combination of rarity and exceptional condition. A fine mist of light russet patina overlay the brilliant, unmarked surfaces of the present piece, and the in-hand "pop" is readily apparent. CAC has certified 50 examples total, with two at MS66 and a single coin at MS67. The CAC price guide value is $7,500. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.

Charles Barber's 1892 quarter and half dollar coinage designs reintroduced the Great Seal, the principal national symbol, to the American public.

Light rose along with gray-gold hues decorate the obverse with green and orange shades further enhancing the reverse. Strike is 100% executed with sharply defined wingtips and tail feathers.

	50C	1898	AU55	PCGS 13587733	Choice	$650	New May 7! Near-Gem Original, Black Point Collection.. Ample remaining luster highlights russet patina in the stars and legend, and the overall eye appeal is pleasing. Stars are fully impressed and rise well above the plane of the planchet. This example would serve well in a type set, or, for the more ambitious, a full date and mintmark set of Barber halves might be contemplated.

Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1898-S	EF45	NGC 2126593015	Choice	HOLD $600	New May 7! Choice Original, Black Point Collection.. Deep gray patina fills the obverse fields of this San Francisco piece, while the reverse is more lightly shaded and reveals additional gold color above the eagle. A distinct mintmark tilts noticeably to the right. This is not a scarce coin, with a mintage of nearly 2.4 million pieces, but the situation is more challenging when considering CAC approval. Indeed, the CAC population is only 31 examples in all grades, with 14 coins finer. The CAC price guide is $546. Housed in a new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1900	AU58	NGC 6062509009	Original	$595	New April 5! Steely Frosted Luster, Light Gray-Gold, Black Point Collection. A popular turn of the century date that showcases steely surfaces with hints of frosty sparkles. The flat appearance on the GFRC images is contrary to bright light viewing experience. Under my office desk lamp, this piece radiates reflective luster that is quite pleasing. The reverse is covered with a semi-transparent layer of orange that adds an eye appeal twist. A strictly original example at a fair offer price. Housed in new large font NGC holder.

	50C	1902	AU58	PCGS 43261201	Choice	$650	New April 23! Super Eye Appeal, Swirling Steely Cartwheels, Choice Surfaces, Black Point Collection. Though this superb 1902 Barber half is not CAC approved, I'm fearless and calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Contrary to many of the halves in the new Black Point consignment, this piece is partially mirrored rather than exhibiting soft granular frost. Cartwheels are vibrant while a 10x check verified faint rub on the cheek and lower bust. Bottom line, the light mirrors and peripheral copper-gold toning tender an enjoyable viewing experience.

	50C	1902-O	EF40	PCGS 33391182	Choice	$475	New May 7! Choice Original.. The 1902-O Barber half represents another low-population issue in the CAC census, with 36 pieces total reported. This example features uniform rose-grey patina atop the central devices, surrounded by deeper shades in the obverse stars.

	50C	1908	AU55	PCGS 43029337	Choice	$650	New May 7! Choice Original, Black Point Collection.. Emerald and sea-green patina fills both sides of this Philadelphia piece, along with crusty bits scattered on both sides. The survival of higher-grade business strikes of this era was somewhat a matter of chance, as most collectors of the period preferred to assemble runs of proof examples, which were sold by the Mint for a minimal markup. Conversely, the Mint today views the annual proof set as an opportunity to extract increasing sums from the collecting public. GFRC humbly suggests that classic coins such as the present example might represent a better collecting value. CAC notes 47 pieces in all grades, with a price guide value of $515 in AU55. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1908-O	MS65	PCGS 43203577	Gem	$2600	New May 7! Gem Original, Black Point Collection.. The 1908-O issue is surprisingly plentiful in the highest grades, with 12 pieces reported by CAC at the MS67 level, far more than any other coin in the Barber half series except the first year of issue 1892 Philadelphia issue. One suspects a roll or two was set aside at the time of production and carefully preserved for many decades. As a result, examples such as the present Gem piece become more accessible to a larger pool of collectors. This coin exhibits booming luster that reveals a medium spray of champagne color on the obverse, while the reverse features lilac-maroon patina in the fields, framed by bits of sea-green shading at the rim. The CAC population is 83 pieces total, with 23 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $2,560. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1909	MS64	NGC 3572904007	Choice	$1550	Creamy Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Hints of Gold Toning, Accurately Graded.

Newman Collection, Choice Original, Old Paper Toning, Accurately Graded. 1910 San Francisco strikes are more challenging than the 1909-S and the 1913-1915 S Mint issues that complete the series. It is not, however, in the same rarity class as any of the earlier S Mint issues from 1892-1908, or the 1911-S. This example is accurately graded and housed in NGC brown label Eric P Newman - Col.' Green holder from the original Heritage November 2013 sale. Classic old paper envelope toning as found on a substantial portion of the Newman coins.

	50C	1912-D	MS63	PCGS 1366989	Choice	$1250	New May 4! Granular Frosted Luster, Swirling Cartwheels, Superb Eye Appeal. This Running Boar 1912-D Barber half ranks as one of the finest PCGS MS63 graded examples that I've handled. The granular frosted luster is continuous on both sides and without a single visual distraction during bright light inspection. Cartwheels are vibrant too. Strike is 100% complete with elevated wing tips and deeply impressed tail feathers, claws and arrow shafts. A light gold patina nicely decorates both sides. Overall, a thoroughly pleasing example that easily justifies a JUST BUT IT NOW recommendation. Housed in PCGS 3.0 (1990-1993) old green holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1914	AU58	PCGS 43266155	Choice	$2500	New May 7! Choice Original, Black Point Collection.. Production of Barber half dollars declined in the final years of the series, with less than 125,000 pieces produced by the Philadelphia Mint in this year. Most Philadelphia Barber halves are priced as type coins, but the 1913-1915 issues clearly stand apart from the others. This example features untoned centers with light russet toning in the stars and legend. Further hints of color are evident in the protected areas of the reverse. CAC has approved 100 examples total, with 17 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $2,480. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	50C	1915-S	VF20	PCGS 19172103	Choice	$160	Final Year Issue, Coin Gray Toning, Choice Surfaces. Another VF grade level Barber half dollar survivor that warrants attention for a budget minded collection. Surfaces are fully original and toned with natural coin gray patina. Fields are entirely unabraded while ebony-gray "dirt" surrounds the primary devices. Worth of its GFRC Choice quality rating. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
