1910 copper Barber dime.

 

Ok, what I can see that jumps out at me is the irregularities in the inside of the rim, which will require more investigation on my laptop. I will update later.

 

Looks like you guys still at it trying to learn what something is from looking at photos. lol

 

When you figure out how to attach physical objects to CoinTalk posts for in-hand examinations, you get right back to us, OK?

 

For in hand examinations you could ask the Op to send the coin in question to you or someone else . For a coin like this one it would be totally impossible to determine what it is from photos.

 

I'd say send to pcgs, that would settle this question.

 

If you believe it, then send it to PCGS or NGC or ANACS.

Until then.............

 

Just attended a presentation by John Frost, current President of the Barber Coin Collector's Society, about counterfeits, including contemporary counterfeits. He showed an example of a contemporary (intended for circulation) Barber dime struck on copper. I got the impression that they're not terribly uncommon. Presumably they were silver-washed so they would pass for the real item, but the coating wore off quickly.

 

Was this at the Raleigh show today? I will be heading there tomorrow.

 

It was. I think the BCCS/LSCC table, near the back of the venue, has one or two of the copper counterfeits on display.

 

He had a display table at the Cincinnati show last weekend with a few contemporary counterfeit barber dimes struck in copper.
