<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26521342, member: 104064&quot;]Interesting (perhaps) tidbit - the pattern coin for the Barber dime series simply reused the Seated Liberty reverse. I don&#039;t know if that was the original intention or if Barber just wanted to test his new obverse before redesigning the reverse. Another thing I find interesting is that the changes made to the obverse in 1901 implemented features of his original pattern coin - the strong cartilage in the ear and the pointy leaf tips - and on the reverse he also added the extra fold in the right ribbon. It&#039;s like it bugged him for 9 years that the coin wasn&#039;t more like his original. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690457[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690458[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(I wish I could credit these images, I think they came from the Smithsonian where this coin resides)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
