Photo	Denom	Date	Grade	TPG	GFRC Rating	Price	Description	Buy
	10C	1896	PR64CAM	PCGS 36911463	Choice	HOLD $900	Near-Gem Original, Cameo Proof Strike.. Frosty devices rise above the mirrored fields, revealing a “black and white” Cameo effect as the piece is tilted under a light. A sharp strike imparts strongly impressed design elements, and the bow knot is completely split. A few wispy lines, detectable with a glass, are present in the right, obverse field. Proof Barber dimes form a 24-coin series, dated from 1892-1915, and the low CAC populations dictate that full sets remain remarkably elusive. Still, many of these pieces are available at price points under $1,000. CAC has approved 32 pieces in all grades, five examples in PR64 Cameo, and 23 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $842. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #84880
	10C	1897-O	MS64	PCGS 15997219	Choice	$2600	Rich Mint Bloom, Peripheral Gold, Near-Gem Original, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Demand for Mint State Barber dimes continues to be strong as witness by recent price increases within the PCGS Price Guide. Case in point is this attractively frosted 1897-O lot recently released from the New Orleans Collection. With a mintage of only 666,000, the date is limited to 26 example certified at the offered grade. Undisturbed mint bloom covers both sides with a hint of peripheral gold. Barber dimes are known for being well struck with this lot being deeply impressed at the New Orleans mint. A worthy example for those that enjoy heavily frosted silver pieces. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	10C	1901-O O/Horiz O	EF40	PCGS 30878761	Choice	$385	O/Horizontal O, Natural Coin Gray Patina, A Cool Die Variety. The 1891-O F-109 O Over Horizontal dime die variety is not a unique mintmark punching error as the same situation is found in the Barber dime series. This newly acquired 1901-O O Over Horizontal O example shares the same diagnostics as its predecessor. The remnants of a horizontal O are seen within the top and bottom oval of the final mintmark punch. This is a Cherrypickers documented die variety with PCGS certifying a total of 32 examples in grades ranging from Good 4 through MS66. Natural coin gray patina is thick on the obverse while the reverse is more lightly toned with some residual luster under a bright light. Surfaces are unabraded and pleasing. This cool die variety is showcased by a strictly original and choice example. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
	10C	1903	PR64	PCGS 82997413	Gem	$900	Gem Original, Proof Strike.. This colorful, CAC-approved example will immediately grab the eye, as the vibrant rim patina contrasts with untoned centers. Intense blue-green shade fills the legend and wreath, surrounding rings of maroon hue on both sides. The in-hand appeal is consistent with the images, and the next owner will not be disappointed. CAC notes 37 examples in all grades, 11 coins in PR64, and 19 pieces in higher grades. The CAC price guide assigns a value of $780, and a higher bid would not surprise us.

A better 21st century New Orleans date with granular frosted luster and light peripheral gold toning. Under a bright light, the radiance is notable with swirling cartwheels. This offering has the eye appeal of a higher grade, though a 10x reveals very faint micro lines on the obverse that are of no consequence. Housed in NGC Gen 7 (1997-2000) holder.

	25C	1892	MS64	NGC Fatty 263145006	Choice	$500	Beautiful Type Candidate, Sparkling Luster, Copper-Aquamarine Toning, Near-Gem. Type collectors seeking "the right" Barber quarter should carefully consider this near-gem example. Why? First is the sparkling frosted luster that consistently radiates across the obverse and reverse. Second is the semi-transparent copper colored patina that melts to aquamarine shades when placed under a light source. Unabraded fields further enhance the overall presentation. A truly attractive 1892 Barber that is housed in a pristine NGC Gen 4 (1990-1992) no line Fatty holder with brown label. The combination bears witness to the early days of conservative TPG grading.

Please note the die cud at the left edge of the bottom of the bust. This piece is so close to gem with just a tad more obverse luster pushing this one to a full GFRC-Gem quality rating.

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.
