    • BARBER, CHARLES E.
      Oct. 14, 2006

      BARBER, CHARLES E.

      Est: $200 - $300

      736. CHARLES E. BARBER American engraver, his principal work was as an engraver of coin dies, including the Barber Half, Barber dimes, Liberty head nickel, and many other coins and medals. Good content A.L.S. "Chas. E. [Barber]", on Mint of the United States letterhead, Philadelphia, Nov. 24, 1891 to H. H. Zearing. In part: "...I suppose you know there is no machine that will give a finished work, the reduction in [?] case statuette or die requiring considerable labor to finish. I therefore take it for granted you wish me to furnish the die finished, reduced from your mold. The cost of a pair of dies such as you desire will be about $200.00... [I] would prefer having the model if you have it, say three or four inches larger than medal required..." Heavy dampstain damage has caused the loss or partial loss of about 15 words of text, as well as Barber's last name, the balance of the letter bears slight wear and soiling. Particularly interesting is the fact that it appears Barber has undertaken work beyond his official duties at the Mint, likely in violation of his position. $200-300
