BARBER SOCIETY CONDUCTING CENSUS & RARITY SURVEY FOR BARBER QUARTERS

John Frost writes: "The Barber Coin Collectors' Society (BCCS)
is currently conducting a census and rarity survey for Barber
Quarters.  The BCCS is conducting this survey to determine the
relative availability of the coins in the series.  The Census
is designed to obtain a population distribution across different
grades, and to see the relative scarcity based on what people
actually own.  Respondents are asked to count all specimens (not
just their highest graded coins of each date).  The Rarity Survey
solicits any opinions that a respondent may have on the availability
/rarity of the better dates using R1 to R7 rarity ratings in the
various grades.

This survey is open for all -- you do not need to be a member of
BCCS to participate.  The submissions can be made anonymously.

There are two web pages for this project, one each for the Census
and the Rarity Survey.  Or, there is also a single Excel spreadsheet
for both parts that can be filled out instead, if that is easier for
the respondent.  The results will be published this summer on the
website and also in the BCCS Journal.

The deadline for submission to the survey is April 15.  It can be
found at the BCCS website, www.BarberCoins.org.

There will be future surveys conducted for the other Barber coins:
dimes, halves, and Liberty Nickels."
