<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 315279, member: 5036"]I have been collecting barber dimes and sometimes quarters for the last year and a half or so. I have completely exhausted the shops in the area I live for better date dimes and quarters for the most part. So this Christmas, when I finally got back from my deployment we went to San Antonio to see family. While I was there I hit up one of the bigger coin shops in the area (the only one that was open that day that wasn't on the opposite side of town) and I was amazed. They had exactly one better date barber dime, an 1895 in a solid g-4 with complete rims on both obv and rev. Needless to say I snapped it up at the $65 price tag, as that is about 75% of what I've seen them at, even for an AG and asked for more barber dimes and some better date quarters as well. They had nada, nothing, zilch, all that was left was a bargain box of ag-3 and borderline good common date dimes and quarters. I know I searched the whole box. So I ask this, other that that great big auction site, has anyone else who collects barbers been running into the same problems?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
