Frequency of Barber dime finds

[bigscores]

I've noticed some of those of you newer to CRH have found Barber dimes... How often are you finding them? Isolated or together? I'm up to almost 1,000 silver dimes found in circulation and still don't have a dang Barber dime to show for it. My numbers break down to 99 Merc dimes and 826 Roosies, 925 silver US dimes. I should hit 1,000 at some point this year, maybe in late October if I keep pace. I've also found about half a roll of Canadian silvers, and a single Cuban silver from 1915. But, as I said, no Barbers. I also haven't found a Barber half and I have to be over a few hundred in face in 90% silver halves by now.

I found 2 barber dimes so far. 1907 and a 1903. They were found in the same box about 3 rolls apart. they were the only 2 silvers in the box. Back in the winter there were a lot of people finding barbers in my area so im guessing someone dumped a stash of silver at some point. I am thinking the same thing now as well. I have been finding FDRs that are in BU condition in almost every box i get. Sometimes a half dozen in each box. Someone probably dumped a large amount of silver dimes locally again because there is no way 90% of the dimes i am finding have been circulating since the 60s. There just in to good of shape. Hopefully someone dumps some barbers and mercs!! Good luck with your barbers.

And how many other dimes have you found? I'm looking for more ratio's than anything else.

I have found 3 barber dimes. Two from CWR, along with a few Mercs. (obviously a collection) the other I found in a box of dimes.

238 rosies
43 Mercs
7 Canadians

no barber dimes in the 3 years i've been searching, not to mention my keepers per box ratio is real low though

Found 6 Barber dimes about 2009, have found close to 100 mercs in 5 years, plus a roll and a half of silver Canadians, close to 1,000 silver Rosies.

I have found zero barber dimes out of 600 silver dimes.
I got close with a 1916 Merc, but no cigar

I'm jealous of everybody that has found Barbers, man... even some of you newbies.

Never found a Barber dime, did however find a 1906 Barber half a teller saved for me but that's the only Barber coin I've ever gotten in circulation.

Never found a Barber. Would love to come across one soon. My second favorite coin design.

Just found a barber the other day out of 4 CWR rolls. Theyre out there.
