My first barber dime

[20eyes]

1910D Found it at an old farm property that i've been detecting for a while now. I've been hitting the site alot lately and found an 1891 indian, a crusty 57 wheatie, and a 59 memorial on other trips and I managed to find my first barber on an hour hunt after work. Its not pretty but im not complaining.

Congratulations!!!!

Nice Charles Barber dime

Charles E. Barber


Charles Edward Barber (1840–18 February 1917) was the sixth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1879 until his death in 1917. He succeeded his father, William Barber, in the position. Barber's best-known designs are the eponymous "Barber" dime, quarter, and half-dollar, as well as the so-called "V" nickel. Some lesser known designs by Barber include the trial copper-nickel cent, trial three-cent piece, and the $4 Stella "Flowing Hair" pieces. He was strongly critical of Augustus St Gauden's designs of the Gold in 1908, and tried hard to stop them being produced.

Barber was succeeded as Chief Engraver by George T. Morgan
