<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2593917, member: 5233"]Here is a 1892-S Barber Dime I picked up years ago. I have found that I am unsatisfied with a lot of my collection and am looking to sell off a lot of it and purchase a few nicer pieces. This is one of those coins I'm kind of at a cross roads with.

Perhaps I was brainwashed by the Red Book as a child. Anyway, this coin I would probably call a "semi-key" and I also like it because it's an 1892 and there is something special about the first year (at least to me). So, for those two reasons, I like this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the Barber design, it's not my favorite...but it's also not my least favorite (for some reasons I don't like the Seated Liberty design...but maybe I'm just weird).

[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2593917, member: 5233"]Here is a 1892-S Barber Dime I picked up years ago. I have found that I am unsatisfied with a lot of my collection and am looking to sell off a lot of it and purchase a few nicer pieces. This is one of those coins I'm kind of at a cross roads with. I would like some opinions on it...both on its grade, value, and overall appeal. Here is what I personally think. First off, having spent some time soul searching and trying to decide how I want to collect...I find that I tend to drift towards the key and semi-key dates. Why, I don't know. Perhaps I was brainwashed by the Red Book as a child. Anyway, this coin I would probably call a "semi-key" and I also like it because it's an 1892 and there is something special about the first year (at least to me). So, for those two reasons, I like this coin. As far as the Barber design, it's not my favorite...but it's also not my least favorite (for some reasons I don't like the Seated Liberty design...but maybe I'm just weird). I don't see myself collecting series of Barbers...but having a couple examples in my collection is a nice thought. For the condition of the coin...I think it's a solid VG. I don't think the details are nice enough for it to be a F. But, looking at the coin in hand and in the photo...I believe it to be a problem free coin. The eye appeal in my opinion on this coin is low. That is the big issue I have with this coin. If I decide to sell it, what do you think it's worth. Do you agree with my assessment of the grade and eye appeal? [img]http://i.imgur.com/MVM2sBj.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
