About This Set:
As I retire my set of barber quarters I'd like to thank the many friends I've made the last seven years for their assistance. It's been a privilege to own the treasured coins in my collection. I rate the AU coins in my collection in five categories: originality, surface quality, luster, strike, and eye appeal. Each coin is rated on a scale from one to ten in each category, with ten representing the highest score. A coin with an overall score of 50 would be a perfect, unimprovable coin in all regards. I value originality and problem free surfaces above all else. Luster and strike are important attributes as well, but are not as high on my list. I would much rather have a perfect original AU50, 53, or 55 coin than a dipped, hair-lined, or otherwise impaired AU58.
Many thanks to my buddy Vern Sebby for the great photos.

Very nice and evenly matched set. I love it! It would be nearly impossible to duplicate a set like this. Wow!
Doug, Digital album is spectacular! Lenny
Doug - Congratulations on the wonderful 01-S, the pics don't do it justice.
Congratulations on locating the nicest AU 1901-S that was available on the open market. I' m keeping my eyes open for another that has been off the market for over 10 years. It's not going to happen any time soon, that's for sure !
Congratulations to someone who has assembled a set that is the envy of all of the Everyman's collections. That 01-S is hands down the nicest imhave ever seen for sale on the open market.
DV - Your 95 o makes a great edition. I understand more congrats are on the way with "V's" 98 s - it took a while to pry it loose but I am sure it is worth the wait. Can't wait to see pics ! walt
DV - the 01 and 11 D look fabulous in your collection !! The 11 D photo needs to be reshot -obverse is much better tna pics. Walt
DV - I am so glad I got a chance to help you with the 97o far superior to mine but it belongs in your collection - Walt
13 s looks fabulous in your collection - congrats !
DV - thanks for the # 1 comment - this would not have been possible with out numerous coins you have helped me with. Thanks Walt
congrats on your new 15 d !! walt
Nice set, I'd be proud to own it! Lenny
I love this collection. That 1901-s is RARER than a mint state one.
