Hi, I found this Barber dime, and I am suspicious that it is a fake (looking at the 5 in the 1895), though the photo quality may account for some of that. What do you guys think?

1895-O is a key date, not 1895-S. It looks real to me but not a very attractive example.

Those are poor photos by which to judge anything about the coin.

I would concur, looks fine. A high end vf, the dentil wear from 12-3 on the reverse keeping it from an ef. My opinion.
