Just started a collection of Barber Dimes. I know I won't be able to a full Gem BU like I did with Frankies, but I'm hoping to have XF and up. Any advice or things to watch for from those of you with expertise on this coin? Thanks, Steve
That's a great goal. Good luck to you, friend. I'm sure I don't have to tell you how much an 1895-O will cost. My advice would be to purchase that one ASAP. I would also encourage you to read, and study, everything you can get your hands on, concerning the series. I'l get you started by linking you to this website. Keep us updated on your progress. :smile
An EF+ set for the Barber Dime series isn't going to be as difficult as say the Barber Quarter and Half Sets. It's still going to be expensive and a while before it is completed, but it should be a nice set when completed. I currently have a F+ set that is about 85% complete and is still missing the 1895-O. My advice to you is to definitely buy the 1895-O first. It will be the largest/ most expensive coin and you will be extremely happy when the last coin you need is that 07-D or 16-P. take care and good luck. Please keep us posted with each purchase.
