There is a vertical over horizontal RPM reported here;

That is a pretty pronounced O/O. Neat find.
very nice error coin

Semantics, I know, but this isn't an error. A variety, imo.

An interesting find on a nice looking circulated coin!
It’s a recognized variety and included in the Barber Coin Collectors’ Society census: http://www.barbercoins.org/Barber-Dimes-Census.shtml
I have one attributed by PCGS in XF. There is a bit of a premium and it’s probably worth attribution - check the auction results at GC or Heritage.
Nice coin
Nice find!
I don't think this is the O / horizontal O.
On that one, the under O shows up within the O, and not to the left.

Yours is really a "O / O West".
It is not listed in "The Complete Guide to Barber Dimes" by David Lawrence.

Nice find.

Kennedys are my quest...

i concur. the actual o/ hori o is the quintissential one meaning that all others i've seen, even on different denoms are similar to the coinfacts image linked by yos.
I like it.
Nice find and a good specimen. Definitely have it attributed. Cheers, RickO
Here is my O over Horizontal O and its identical to the PCGS images identified as the same. I don't understand the post above with the photo as it IS the O over Horizontal O ?
The OP picture is not the O over horizontal O. The one in the middle of the thread is.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
To me, the mintmark on the coin in the OP looks machine doubled. It is absolutely not the O/Horizontal O, as others have pointed out.
The OP coin is the O / O West.
See my 2021 post.
If there was machine doubling that wide, you should see it on the wreath as well.
