I found a worn 1904 Barber dime last year and now I just found another 1904 in my last box of dimes. This one is in really nice condition with every letter in Liberty readable and very little wear on the coin. It is discolored and dark but IMO it looks pretty good for being a 108 years old, too bad it didn't have an S mintmark on it too. Sorry all I have is the scanner.

back then it was probrably "racy" to have a "hot" woman on a coin, remember, women did not have full rights until after the barber series ended, whether that has anything to do with the design, who knows, but a little info on that :)
Is it just me or does the girl on the obverse of these coins look like man?
