Plucked Another Barber from the Bush - New Piece

Tom Bush, that is of Thomas Bush Numismatics.
Here is my new Barber Dime from Tom (PCGS MS65 CAC):
I'm on a long journey to build a basic U.S. Type set (no gold) and typically add only a couple of coins per year. As a small time collector without any specialized knowledge, I've been fortunate to obtain some pleasing coins from national shows and to meet a top notch dealer like Tom who has such a keen eye. It has been purely by happenstance that the three Barber type coins (dime, quarter, and half) in my collection have all come from him since 2012. I gain some satisfaction that my instincts were right about each Barber coin selected and this is reinforced by knowing that this type is a favorite of his. Anyway, I realize he's well known here, but for those who haven't visited his site, I suggest you do!
You can see the quarter and half at my registry page

Catbert... Very pretty Dime... I agree, with your assessment of Tom Bush,
he has a great eye and I have a couple of his coins as well.

You bet!!
That coin really plays the Blues. (In a good way.)
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

I do not collect much of what Tom deals in but one of the highlights for me at shows is looking through his box or two he has on hand. I just love the look and originality of his selection.

As for Tom, when people ask how do you judge originality, go to Tom's website and look over his inventory. That is a focus of how he selects coins.

I've put off adding any to my type set, but a beauty like that
could change my mind!
That's rare.
