Barber Dime Identification Assistance Requested

[KeyMan64]

Repunched Date

 

It is NOT in the Cherrypickers' Guide and it is NOT in the DLRC book from 1991. I 'picked this at a show yesterday and did not exactly lay out my CPG on the dealer's table you know so I bought it and realized later that it was not the FS-301, FS-302 or FS-303.

 

Does anyone have Kevin Flynn's Barber Dime book to see if it is in there?

 

I guess if it isn't in there and no one has seen this before then it might be new and certainly worth millions of dollars!

 

In hand it is easy to see at the top of the "1" and under the entire left side of the "7." I really can't tell if there is something going on with the 8 but I think there is. I would have to get a toothpick, dip it in some MS70 or acetone and then gently massage some of the grime out of the date to really have the best view of it. Hmmmmm

Simply going by the 1, since the other numerals are not clear, it does ot match any of the 5 listed RPD's in Flynn's "The Authoritative Reference on Barber Dimes".

 

So, if there is ever any update, which I doubt, it would be #6, nice find

Thank you so much for checking! Can you see the underside of the 7 in my pic?...the pic of just the date, not the full coin.

KeyMan64 - I'm sorry for not giving relevant input to your post, but I'd love to know what device you used to photograph this beautiful coin?

[KeyMan64]

Nothing too exciting to photograph it. Nikon D300 with 105mm Macro lens. To get the date I attached 2x Teleconverter to the 105mm. I used a tripod for the camera, light stands to hold two lights. I stood the coin up on a book shelf and photographed it. That's about it. Photoshop CS4 to put the graphic together.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm thinking about buying a dino-light and was wondering what's being used for these photos.

[KeyMan64]

I too want a Dino-lite 5MP version. It would just make life a lot easier when getting close up pics of varieties. For the entire coin though I would stick with my camera setup.
