Wow what a difference....

What a difference between the two Barber Dimes I'm posting. One had a nice life - apparently lightly handled (although obviously cleaned at some point), and the other lead a life of heavy use. Would be neat to know whose hands these coins passed through.

I like coins that worked for a living.

 

I think the first one probably had an altered surface at one point. Maybe a bit of shellac which has worn off over time.

 

My favorites also. I have said that a thousand times.

 

If coins could talk…

 

Since I’ve never received a Barber Dime in circulation I can state that it never passed through my hands.

 

Top one was doing all the work
while the bottom one was getting
Botox treatments that failed.
