Barber coins:  halves, nickels, dimes, and quarters

Welcome to the website for the Barber Coin Collectors' Society (BCCS).

The BCCS is a group of coin collectors that are interested in the coins designed by Charles E. Barber, Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint from 1880 to 1917. He is best known for his Liberty Head designs on the dime, quarter, and half, as well as the popular Liberty Head (or "V") nickel.

The purpose of this site is to provide valuable information and knowledge about Barber coins, details about the Society, and to make it easy for you to participate. Please explore the site, meet with us at major coin shows, and accept our invitation to join.

Well over 120 participate in Barber Dimes Census and Rarity Survey

Thanks to all who participated in this year's Barber Dime Census and Rarity Survey. Well over 120 collectors participated online, plus paper ballot submissions, making this the largest response of the three surveys so far. The task of tallying (and responding to) your submissions has begun. The results are expected this summer and will be published in the Journal and on this website. They will also be presented at the BCCS Annual Meeting at the summer ANA in Baltimore.

We look forward to sharing the results with everyone at that time. In the next month or so, if anyone that submitted a survey has anything to add/amend, you can attempt to do so by sending us email at bccs@BarberCoins.org. We will try our best to include them in the results.
