<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25821375, member: 104064&quot;]Don&#039;t forget he also did the Liberty Head nickels. Barber also did the obverse on this one (Morgan did the reverse). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1646953[/ATTACH]30+ medals, Lafayette dollar, Pan-Pacific half and quarter eagle, Cuban coinage, and his 5 centavo was still used until 1961. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been fascinated with the Barber transition varieties for many years now, which I&#039;ve obsessively posted on here. One amusing thing was this &quot;unintended feature&quot; of his dimes 1892-1899 - a dent in the corn husk seen in this 1899 proof (not mine). When I first saw it I thought it was PMD, and then I saw it on every dime before 1900.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1646954[/ATTACH] </p><p>Someone (him?) seems to have dropped an engraving tool on the hub, and it persisted through 8 coinage years. He finally redid the hub for 1900 coinage and removed it, as well as changing the leaf veins and corn. I&#039;ve wondered if that flaw bothered him the whole time. 1900 proof (also not mine). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1646955[/ATTACH] </p><p>Just some more useless trivia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
