nice ;D pictures even better wish i could get a close pic like that,, and i got a great camera too,, mind you praireiwolf has given me some lessons he he he .
 

You're supposd to keep those? Silly me, I was using them for tolls - just kidding!

Congrats!! It's a beautiful coin.
 

Congratulations on the really nice Barber dime....That takes me back to 1990 when I found my first Barber dime....a 1916 also....and in very similar condition. Feels good don't it?

I hope you fare better with them from this point out. I found only one this year....an 1899 which had been that beautiful when it was lost...but laid in a pile of ashes for 100 years. The lye in the ashes leeched the copper out of the coin and it's basically junk.

I've found 4 seated dimes to date....but just 2 barbers.

I'm surprised no one asked if it was a dime or not. There was no mention if it was a quarter, half, or dime. Nor could I tell from the picture what scale the picture was. Is there anyway to distinguish a half, quarter, or dime from the obverse?
