Popular Post 80s Kid Posted December 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2020 I posted this in in a different forum a few months ago but don't think I ever posted it here. According to the population reports, this is the only 1897-S Barber with a "PL" designation between NGC and the other TPG company. I'll admit that I fell in love with this coin, however, if anyone is able to provide feedback on this, please do. This absolutely includes criticism (constructive) because I'm constantly trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you.

80s Kid Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I acquired this coin (1894 Morgan) about a year ago when I was focused on Morgan Dollars but never posted it. I don't think I was even a member of this site yet but it goes along with my "Key Dates" collecting theme. I'm still trying to figure out how to narrow my focus since key dates isn't really a category. I could attempt to obtain a type set (I think) with one key date for each major US Coin but I still like the idea of completing a set of all dates and mint marks for at least one US Coin... Right now it would be Barber Half Dollars. Any ideas are welcome but I have a habit of jumping around in different areas for Key Dates (Peace, Morgan, Ikes, Barber, Walking Liberty, Franklin, Kennedy and Washington Quarters). rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 80s Kid Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 Newest Barber Half: 1896-S VF (Raw Coin). As much as I like having raw coins, I can't add them to the registry. I'm not against slabs (otherwise I wouldn't be here) but I have a lot of raw coins, many of which are not common dates. rocket23, Coinbuf and robec1347 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really tempted to get an 1896-O graded Fine (Raw) but it wasn't that nice of a coin for the grade (the 1896-O is very high on my want list). I'm really liking the challenge of this series... almost every date/mint is scarce @ Fine or better but the only real "Stopper" is the 1892-O "Micro O" variety. I've got a long way to go but I've only been collecting for approx 2 years with less than a year devoted to Barber Half Dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the raw coins I have come from a local coin shop that's been in business for a long time so the owner grades all of the raw coins himself. I understand the concept of you having the final say but I rarely ever disagree with the grades at this place. My only concern is the NGC Registry and being able to submit coins requires them to be slabbed. The creation of a "raw coin registry" would be interesting but would probably have to be informal with no points or some kind of voting system.

If you want to setup a type raw registry you can do so at Gerry Fortin's website, his registry accepts raw and slabbed. The only catch is that there are very few categories and of course there are no awards, just a way to show off your collection. 80s Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His site cannot host the photos like this site does, you have to put the photos on another site like photobucket or something similar and then link the photos. Not my favorite way of doing it and I have not done so yet myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lem E Posted January 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just got this a few days ago. Took a break from the nickels to get this one. I just really liked the looks of this. Normally not a fan of the brown toning, but it just seems to work on this coin. The fingerprint almost drove me away but something just kept bringing me back to this one. Pulled the trigger. Glad I did.
