I found a 1898 Barber Dime in the woods. I love the art work / design on these old coins so I decided to put it in a necklace bezel. I also found this other thing with a pattern on it. Does any one recognize it? Thanks for looking!
our coins were a lot more beautiful when the primary focus of design was Liberty. Most modern coinage with images of presidents actually began as a commemorative but never went away. I have always been a firm believer that America should return it's coinage to show images of Liberty instead of elevating politicians to 'God-like' status by immortalizing them on our coins.
Nice looking Barber dime. I like what you did with the Bezel. Make sure you don't lose it, or you will have to find someone with a metal detector to help you find it !
