After a little more reading and researching, I think I misspoke when I said this dime has a Cud.

The 4 to 6 area on the obverse rim is a die break http://cuds-on-coins.com/die-breaks/

Sorry about that.

I believe it is called "rim crumbling" if I remember right.

See ieven after reading about a Cud I'mstill not sure what one is exactly. But like I said to me it looked like the die wasn't perfect when it struck this coin. Its actually a lot more subtle than it looks but the patina makes it look much taller than it is just from the contrast.

That's a great looking one you got there. I like it a lot.
Matthew isn't kidding about asking him questions. He's taught me a lot of what I know.

Is my dime an alright dime for what it is? I know its not some rare coin or anything but is it a decent grab? I did only pay ten bucks for it.

$10 for an XF range Barber dime is a great price. I'd grab every one I could find at that price.

"Is my dime an alright dime ..."

Most every collector craves reassurance that he or she has made a wise
purchase. I do so myself.
Yes, it is better than alright!

The view of the edge eliminates any post mint damage so the die must have been
on its last legs.

Now, just where does your interest in Barbers lie?
If you have not done so check out this topic:

Some of the nicest examples of Barber coinage can be found here.

I'm still trying to figure out what coins I like the most haha it might end up not being barbers but I still like this one because it looks great :)
