And as my first entry into my numis-diary, I need some advice. I've been working on a new series (as of last year) of Barber dimes. I want to have good looking examples of each date without breaking my bank or breaking slabs. So I settled on XF-AU coins since they maintain great looks and low prices. HOWEVER, I haven't been able to find ANY coins in these grades. Only a few times at the Baltimore show do I see something worthwhile. I can't find them at shops, online, ANYWHERE. I can find lots of better grades or worse grades but NONE in this grade. I think I've only added a few to my collection since I started this series.

 

Unbelievable considering I started this series so I had something easy to work on while I waited patiently for keys in my other series to come along!

 

Anywho, here is where I need your advice:

 

Should I just buy a bunch of filler coins that don't meet my XF standards and upgrade them when I can? Or do I hold out for satisfactory examples when I find them?

 

The latter would probably be easier on my budget. Otherwise, I'd buy decent VF examples til better grades come around.

 

Well? Should I ransack my local dealer and fill in lots of holes til I get to Baltimore again?

well i can help you out by taking ur set of barber bimes and u can start over!!!! hehe i do like the babrber series myself but only have 1 babrer quarter..

wow very nice coins!!!

ooo i like it!!!

such beauty hurt thy eyes!!!! i dunno if they really wore grapes in there hair but if they did then u get hungrey just pick em off and eat em!!!
