I was going through my Grandfather's silver dimes yesterday and I found this 1893 O Barber dime in great condition! Only problem is, when you look at about 10 or 11 o'clock on the obverse, see that little bend? I took a picture of it to show you guys. In that condition with that bend, what do you guys think it will be worth? Mark    |

Probably worth only melt value because of the bend.

Ya, the side view is bad. It must have been used as a screw driver.

Oh man, this is not in great condition at all, the bend is rather dramatic. To bad about that. Most people would consider this a damaged coin. As a damaged coin most people might consider it to be a hole filler. But the problem with hole fillers is that when you go to try and sell it you still have a damaged coin.

$5 is my liberal estimate. Remember z's sig "better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one."  |

Probably worth a couple of bucks over melt value.

You don't want that coin. Better off just sending it to me.  |

Maybe I'll try to sell it to someone who wants it cheap that needs it for a hole filler. I found this one on ebay that is even worse than mine and they're trying to sell it for 20 bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BARGAIN-BAR...em5b0425bc53Thanks for the replies everyone, Mark |

I would think between 5 and 10 dollars would be a fair price, if it were just the bend. But the bend with the Scratches - maybe more like 3 to 5 dollars. It sure is to bad how people treat coins.
