Here is a link with a quote from wikipedia from what I was basing it on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_coinageBarber's head of Liberty is purely classical, and is rendered in the Roman style. The head is modeled after the French "Ceres" silver coinage of the late 19th century, but bears a resemblance to Morgan's design for the silver dollar.[34] This did not escape numismatist Walter Breen in his comprehensive guide to
US coins, "Barber must have been feeling unusually lazy. He left the [dime] rev[erse] design as it had been since 1860, with minor simplifications. His obv[erse] was a mirror image of the
Morgan dollar head, with much of Miss Anna Willess Williams's[b] back hair cropped off, the rest concealed ... within a disproportionately large cap."
