<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 261977, member: 5454&quot;]I started putting together a Barber dime set a couple months ago.&nbsp; The reason I started may seem funny.&nbsp; I really like the old brown cover Library of Coins albums.&nbsp; I have a partial set of BU Merc dimes in an old Library of Coins album which is really satisfying.&nbsp; &nbsp; Anyway one local dealer sells used coin albums and folders for a buck each.</p><p>Down the bottom of his stack there was a very nice Library of Coins album for the Barber dimes.</p><p>It looked unused for the most part.&nbsp; Maybe the former owner could not locate any dimes either.</p><p>So I got the album for one dollar then picked up 16 dimes here and there.</p><p>I find the pre 1900 Barber dimes hard to locate in any condition.</p><p>But at a yard sale I scored big time by buying this funky collection mounted between two panes of glass </p><p>in a picture frame for $40.&nbsp; The guy stuck masking tape on the back of the coins and then stuck them to the back glass.&nbsp; The front glass was just placed over the coins and the whole thing placed in a nice antique picture frame.&nbsp; It was a wall hanging.</p><p>But my point is that one of the coins in there was an AU 1899 dime.&nbsp; That is my best Barber dime and I doubt that anything I find and buy will match the beauty of that 1899.</p><p>I have fifty bucks into this series right now.&nbsp; I am debating if I should just sell it before I get too involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
