  MFH and JMW are very knowledeable in the series. Feel free to PM them with questions.
  You can also post your questions in the MegaThread - I usually get answers from someone pretty quickly.
  
  Not sure if he still checks in or not, but BoyHowdie was a B-dime specialist, and had a ton of experience with the series.

  What do you want to know? I have been collecting Barber Dimes for 30-40 years.

  Barber dimes are a collecting favorite with me.I've been collecting them since the seventies.
  I will try to answer any questions you might have about them.

  Dimeman and MFH come to mind. I have a 100% complete Registry set in this series, but I do not have the years of experience assembling sets in different grades like some others do.

  Ask your questions here. Those with answers will undoubtedly reply.
  
  I always thought that a choice VF-XF Barber dime set would be cool. Never got too far with it though. But in my mind such a set has essentially zero downside as the supply of
  such coins in problem free condition is quite limited. Nearly all seemed to be cleaned or hacked up. A set of uncs on the other hand could go either way. I used to buy key date
  choice/gem unc Barbers in the 1970's to 1980's and found them quite challenging. My favorite "bang for the buck" dates tended to fall into the 1898-1909 range. 98-0 and 09-s
  in nice unc were two of my favorites.

  The two expert Barber dime guys are MFH and DIMEMAN.

  My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.
