Giving my junk silver a Reddit send-off before I sell it. Farewell, it’s been an honor!

I love the circulation cameo on this 1915-D Barber quarter. A common date with an uncommon look

This is why we prefer uncleaned coins! Beautiful circulation cameo - 1914 Barber quarter, VF.

So stoked right now! Bought a Dansco Peace dollar album for $13.95 and I heard some jingling as I opened the envelope. It turned out to be these three Peace Dollars — 1922-S and two 1923-S

Cleaned vs. uncleaned: 1912-S Barber half dollar. Both are about the same grade but the uncleaned coin’s details “pop” more from a circulation cameo effect. Note the dull, lifeless surfaces of the cleaned coin and the irregular, splotchy light brown re-toning.

Two more Barber halves from my recent purchase. 1912 and 1913-D, both VF. A couple of nice mid-grade coins from an under-appreciated series.

Found a VERY impaired proof while browsing eBay today. 1898 Barber half, graded Proof-10 by ICG. Not something you see every day!

Set-Building Sunday! My first full album page. Barber half dollars. Eventually want a full set with as many Fine or better as I can track down (and afford lol). Someday...

Here is a good example of the kind of coin that won’t grade when submitted. 1908 Barber dime, looks to be AU58 details, but cleaned. Note the “hairline” scratches, mostly on the obverse — scratches, all in one direction, indicative of a harsh wipe.
