Can't recall seeing Barber coins in change. The best I can do is a 1909 VDB LWC that I received in change in 1970 or 71. Still have it today! |

Sometime back when I was cashiering early 2000s. got one ever Barber quarter. also during that time was paid with one Morgan and one Peace dollar. all at separate times. also received a 1932 Washington at one point. Silver coins were not all that common but every so often one would come around. One of the other cashiers discovered a "vein" of silver one day in the coin dispenser, about 15 silver quarters all in row. this is in suburban Philly |

Barberman2016.... I live in Naples - as SW Fla as you can get - I'm jealous !! I have not found a Barber dime since I was in High School, in 1965. It was a roll find, and was a very choice AU 58+ ...not MS, but very close !! Thanks for sharing the images as well. Neat thread !! |

The last year of the Barber series was 1916. I would imagine people stopped finding them on any regular basis was back in the early to late twenty's. Jasper I have to disagree with this statement you made. Yes the last barber was 1916 but do you really think nobody was finding any in 1920 just 4 years later? That would be like saying nobody was finding any eagle back quarters in 2002 or memorial back cents in 2012 or wheat back cents in 1962.

I was born in 1840, so I remember when the first Morgans were circulated. I am really feeling my age these days. Fighting for CSA was a real  especially since we lost. I had loads of confederate money that was useless after the war. |

Last year a coworker who knew I collected coins said he got a 1910 dime back in change from Walmart the other day. I was sure he was confused with the date and maybe got a Mercury dime or silver Roosevelt. Well he brought it in a couple of days later and sure enough it was a 1910 Barber dime. As a side note his girlfriend worked at a liquor store and he said a lola wino had paid one of her coworkers with an old silver dollar. Then a week or so later she got a silver dollar as payment and swapped it out of the register. He brought it in for me to look at and it turned out to be an underweight Seated dollar fake. When her boss found out she demanded both coins from them. Since at least one was a fake I guess we know who got the upper hand over abusive management  |

Hmm, interesting. I was born in 1998 and started collecting in Late 2003-2004. I've found two barbers in circulation, (three if you include one my great aunt found) First things first: 1. 1912 S Barber quarter (might have been a 1908 O, I can't remember, one of the two) found by my great aunt around 2009 in a coinstar machine. 2. 1900 Barber dime found in my great-great aunt's change (she was roughly 90 when I found it) around 2009-2010. Slick PO-01 to FR-02 piece. She passed 4 years ago so that coin will be with me forever. 3. 1916 Barber dime found last year (2015) in a coinstar machine, was cleaned but it's still a barber! 4. ? |

The one and only Barber I have ever found in the wild is my 1911 dime. It was found in a customer wrapped role in the early 1990's, Upstate SC. That dime is in my 7070.

I've never seen one in change, but my Mom works at a small community bank and found a 1904 Barber dime in her teller tray. Edited by dadsoncoinhobby

Not exactly Barber, but I found a V nickel in a roll I got from the bank about 6 months ago. It was an 1898 I believe |

The one and only barber I have found was on Jan 1, 2013. It was in a bank sealed box of dimes, in clear plastic wrappers. You can see pics on the topic I posted when I found it: https://goccf.com/t/137676#137676 |
