I think I remembered reading something about a weakly struck variety for that year, so I got out my Snow book and laid it on the couch, to look at when we got back from going to a friend's house to eat. When I got home, I discovered that my wife's new rescue dog had eaten the cover and shredded many of the pages. I tried to find the 1857 pages and piece them together, but no luck. 

Not if the person passing the coin down was her father. Even a grown woman can still think that her father was infallible. And, if he was thought to be an expert collector, it will be hard to convince her that he could have been fooled by anyone or any coin.

And, the numismatic world will be richer for it, in my opinion.

It took me several months to figure out what Tom's avatar was. I was too embarrassed to ask.

So, now, you have no life. 

That has to be one of the ugliest Barber dimes I have ever seen.
I love it !!  

Your piece was originally one of several varieties of Silver Stripe token. The Silver Stripe was a restaurant and lounge, located on University Ave. in St.Paul, Minnesota. It was owned by Fay Decker and Frank Glombitz. There is one piece known that was overstruck for the John T. Colbert Tavern, which reads: "JACK / C / 586." Yours appears to say " Steve / 7981 / Schwartz" on one side. I can't make out the lettering on the other side. It appears to have been overstruck more than once.
Here is a picture of one variety of the Silver Stripe token, which closely resembles yours:
 

The Jackson-State National Bank was established in 1889, and remains open today as Trustmark National Bank. The bank printed three types and denominations of national currency, totaling $281,650.
This piece was issued in 1939 to commemorate the bank's 50th anniversary.

Clearer pictures would be a big help, but I have to say that it does not look promising.

In conjunction with the ANA, Joe Rust, president of the Gallery Mint Museum, refurbished and refitted the first steam press
used by the U.S. Mint. Rust said at the time, "It was a wonderful experience to work on this press that carries so much history with it.
Copper and silver versions were struck. I have a silver, copper and one error.

Interesting story, but the article appears to have been written by 3rd grader, and cut and pasted by his little brother.

Nice addition. It's a good looking coin.  
Are you happy with your choice?
