<p>[QUOTE="wooleytree, post: 1212607, member: 31541"]How common is it to find proof like barber coins? I own a few Proof like Morgan dollars and have some that I thought should have been graded DMPL. I have a few proof type coins as well, 3 IHC's 1895, 1898 and 1905, 1 v-nickel (1910) and about 6 proof Mercs ranging from 1938 thru 1942. I stopped by a coin store today and while looking at some coins a Barber dime caught my eye. I appears to have a wire rim and mirror fields. When turned just right in the light it looks just like the proof Indians and V Nickel that I have. On my Mercs no matter how you turn them none really give you the cameo look in the light like the others do and certainly not like this new Barber. I know that you may need some pictures but I am traveling and wont be close to the camera until Friday. Even then I have had trouble getting my camera to show the mirrored fields on the other proofs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
