Presumably, he is talking about a pattern coin, the design of which was never adopted for our coinage. Although it would have been designed by Barber, it will look nothing like a "Barber" dime. Ask him what the "J" (Judd) number is, and once I have it, I can hopefully show you a picture of what it looks like. The Judd number should be between 809 and 824 and the coin could be copper, alumiunum or silver.
Here is an image of one of them:
