<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 1030604, member: 5036&quot;]Both of these barber dimes are without wear and heavily toned, albeit in quite a pleasing manner.&nbsp; However, through the toning my biggest question is whether or not one or both were just MS or possibly proof.&nbsp; The 1892 has a high degree of reflectivity on the reverse in the open field about 2&quot; deep and on the obverse I can see reflectivity hiding beneath the toning.&nbsp; The 1904 shows some reflectivity on both sides, but the reflectivity is not as deep as on the 1892.&nbsp; Neither of the coins have a cameo appearance as far as I can determine on the obverse.&nbsp; The reverse of the 1892 may be cameo and the 1904 could be cameo but the steel gray toning hides any possibility of ascertaining that.&nbsp; My diagnosis is that the 1892 has a 70% chance of being proof whereas the 1904 only about a 30% chance.&nbsp; But either way, they are two of the nicest dimes I have in my set.</p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/100_2169.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/100_2170.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/100_2171.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/100_2172.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
