Nice finds. Looks like someone was trying to put a hole in the center of the dime.
Nice old lead and Barber! Congrats!Does the mark on the Barber look or feel like a scratch or does it feel stamped?

I've seen that mark before, but have never really figured it out. I've theorized that it had something to do with a automatic coin roller, but that's a pretty wild guess.
Of the 5 Barber dimes that I've ever found one has that same marking, but I never knew why.
