Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 8:16 pm I am trying to look for a nice original Barber dime (and not break the bank) for my 7070. I know some years go for around $25 in XF condition so that is my target price. How do these look? Edited by Steelers72 02/13/2017 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 8:40 pm These look about VF30 to me. For an XF coin I expect the band under LIBERTY to be sharply defined and the hair three dimensional in the obverse. Neither coin displays that. In the reverse, I expect the wreath to have well defined corn, both in the wheat and the cob. Neither does here. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
