Looks like a pretty big difference in opinions. Maybe these last three photos will help with a final verdict. Thanks though guys. I'm not planning on doing anything with it, except take it out and admire it every now and then.

Great picture of the hair under "liberty", which show a little wear.
I'll raise my bid from 53 to AU55
reverse is a AU58 though
On a Barber dime, I loook for details on the corn kernels, hair detail under liberty, among other things...

I bet Matthew has a thing or two to say about ths coin...
I'll wait for his expertise on the matter...

very nice, great detail and awesome toning! I'd have to say mid to high AU...

If you don't mind answering whats "basically for free"? Lol.. I'd have paid a bit for this one, excellent eye appeal...

Revision: I will say that the reverse with the new pics is a very nice AU 58, and the Obverse an AU 55, so probably around 55 total. Nice coin!

Ah, from these photos I can see that what I thought was wear beneath the band isn't such :). I don't think it reaches 58, but might go AU53.

Well it was a lot of 22 indian heads including a CN, a flying eagle, and another AU Barber dime. I ended up getting all of it for $43.
Like I said the seller posted some pretty bad pics but I gues I saw something special with the dimes that nobody else did and actually put in a bid quite a bit higher than $43.

Thanks guys

I'm not sure how many people would still be reading this thread but what would you say the value of this is?
Or how much would you pay?
