FA: 1909 MS-64 PCGS Barber quarter ...a tale of two quarters and theeye-appeal issue

Just listed, I compare this 1909 Quarter to one I just sold to a top
Registry Set participant that grades MS-65, one point higher.

I always welcome lively discussion, but insults and name calling do
little to educate the participants or lurkers of this newsgroup.

A nice looking coin. I like the MS-65 one better, but I guess that is
why it grades 1 point higher!

Nice looking coin Ira, but then again, you do have the eye. I haven't been
into this newsgroup for a year or more (I bailed when the spammers took
over), but thought I'd drop in and take a peek. I see that the spam and
vulgar posts are still here and the amount of legitimate traffic continues
to decline. Such a pity for a newsgroup that was once so vibrant and
informative.

I spend my time at the pcgs boards where for the most part it's an active
and family friendly board with lots of information and knowledgeable people.
If any of you would like to visit, you'll be welcome there.

Hi Wes,

Nice to see you on the boards again! How are things in the Lone Star
state? You opened a shop there, didn't you?

Ira

Welcome back Wes. You have been missed!

One wonders why, since the coin in question seems to be a nice solidly
graded coin, you felt the need to brag about the MS65 coin you
flipped?
What's the point?
Why the need for all the hyberbole in your auctions?
Why not let the coin sell itself?

Ira's patter sure beats the heck out of "I'm not entirely sure this coin is
genuine, but my brother-in-law said it looks good to him."

Have we just been served notice that we smell bad and are not worthy?

It also beats getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick but so what?

I'm not bragging about the MS-65. I'm comparing it a the MS-64 I'm
selling. Since the MS-64 is priced at about one third of the higher
graded example, some collectors might feel that the MS-64 represents
better value to them. Besides, there's some value in letting potential
buses and even those with no buying interests at all the discern the
difference between one grading point on a mint state coin.

Q David. Bowers has always placed a little blurb with every coin
featured in his current listings. Most find that interesting, much
more so that a date, grade and price.
