Barber Quarters Varieties Survey

The BCCS is conducting a Varieties Survey for Barber Quarter, to gain information as to the relative availability of different varieties. The survey runs until May 31st, and consists of five different parts, each corresponding to a particular type of variety. There is also a place to enter unlisted varieties at the end of the survey form.

Simple instructions and hints

  • Please enter the number of coins of each variety that you have in each grade in the appropriate boxes (no need to enter zero).

  • Because of the length of this survey (over 120 varieties polled), you may want to do it in stages by filling out one section at a time.

  • Another approach is to print the paper form (click here and save/print) and use it to examine your collection (which could take some time), and when finished, enter the data from your paper form into this web form for easy submission (or mail it in).

  • Still another approach is to fill out an Excel spreadsheet at your leisure and email it to us. Click here for the excel form. Save the file, fill it out at your leisure, and email it to us.

Reference information and examples

  • Reference information is provided when available, includng the variety notation for several different books, including The Complete Guide to Barber Quarters, 2nd Edition, by David Lawrence (e.g., L101), The Cherry Pickers Guide to Rare Die Varieties, by Bill Fivas and J.T. Stanton (e.g., FS-25-1892-301), and the Authoritative Guide to Barber Quarters, by Kevin Flynn (e.g., KF-DDO-001).

  • When available, a photo or sketch is provided for a number of varieties. Just click on the link (underlined or highlighted "Date" field in the listing. We will attempt to add additional photos or sketches during the survey period. Most images on this web form are courtesy of David Lawrence Rare Coins (davidlawrence.com) and DLRC Press, from the Lawrence Complete Guide referenced above, with our thanks.

      

If you have any problems with this form, please send us mail at bccs@barbercoins.org. If you are responding to the survey in stages (multiple submissions), please make a note of that in the "Comments" box at the bottom. Thank you for your participation!
