<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 26696450, member: 74863"]A few years ago I bought a collection and it had an old green folder with Barber Dimes. I set it aside until last year at which time I went through the folder to verify the coin in the slot was the correct one. I needed about 13 dimes to fill all the holes. They were all lower graded coins so I figured why not. </p><p>Here are the two coins I needed to plug every hole. They may be worn, scratched and not very nice to look at but hey, it filled the holes in my folder so my folder is now complete. I’m not a big fan of the Barber coins but with the folder being so close to done I decided to finish it.</p><p>First up is the 1895-O, the key date. Only 440,000 were minted.

[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 26696450, member: 74863"]A few years ago I bought a collection and it had an old green folder with Barber Dimes.

They’re not pretty but they filled the folder. :) [ATTACH=full]1703564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1703565[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1703566[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1703567[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
