Most were made in Rhode Island and New York and the ones with the patent bars help date them. I have a book coming out next year on pop out coins and they are die stamped Most of the dies were hand made by Italian and German workers and could take up to 40 hours to make each die Oded Paz was selling copies of the book
You got hosed my friend, sorry. That’s a barber dime that is gold PLATED. The guy on eBay charging 189 is hilarious. That person took you to the cleaners. If it’s a great value, then buy them all. I don’t see any members clamoring for their piece of the 189 dollar barber dime. I am not harsh, I am real. I do want to see my fellow man ripped off, and then HAPPY about the deal-that-never-should-have-happened
