Barber Dime Question

I have a 1912-D Barber dime with an unusually strong strike.
It is about XF but shows better detail than any U or AU dime
I have.

Is there any record of circulation dimes beinng struck with proof
dies or is that variety particularly well struck?

Sorry for the poor picture. I was kind of rushing it.

    Probably just a good strike but I think proof dies were used after they were finished with striking proofs but maybe one of the Barber guy's can say so for sure? Nice looking coin. image

    Very nice strike, but I have no information on proof dies. Really like the coin. It's nicer than my 12-D.
