Crusty O-mint dimes anyone?

7 posts in this topic

Nice coins, I love barber coinage but other than a couple of Proof halfs I have avoided ever owning them as I was afraid of getting hooked. Here is a very crusty Dime that shows advanced die deterioration on the Rev as well as partially filled/not struck up O mint mark that looks like a C.

The 1891o dimes are known for poor quality as it was the first year back making small coinage since that Civil War.

It's my favorite series, and definitely addictive.
