How badly did I get burned on this one? I spent $8.50 on her, including shipping. I'm thinking VF-30?   |

Yeah the rim hits are a bit distracting, but for $8.50, not burned.

I think you did fine, paid just about what you would expect.
A true VF30 coin with no problems would be more in the $15
range.
Also .. in my experience ... large size pictures show
the problems more .. than the coin looks in hand.
This would fill a hole in a album just right.

You did OK, not burned but not a epic find. Rim hits and dings were details that coin but for 8.50 ok.

Throw it in an album and a week from now you'll have forgotten all about the rim hits.  |

The rim hits don't bother me one bit; just honest circulation wear. You have a very nice Barber dime there IMHO! |

Ok for $8.50., Child, a little bit of good honest advice from an old timer; try to stick with PROBLEM FREE coins. yes it may cost you a few dollars more. but you'll be happy you did when you get older and more into real nice coins. Do what makes you happy , but also think about your future in coin collecting.  |

 Alright, thanks for your input. I had some money and I had never bid on e-bay before, so I got a little too hasty and jumped on it. Well, its by best Barber dime and it's a better deal then what they have at my pawn shop! |

Ooooooh, for your first bid on ebay you did great  Easy to make big rookie mistakes, but not on this one. Inexpensive learning. |
