Thanks to Tom Bush - Baby Blue Barber Dime

This is a coin I originally bought from Tom a few years ago, but had to sell back (along with a few other colorful Barber coins) to him when I faced some hard times 2-3 years ago. I had posted about missing this particular coin and I think Tom noted this because when he was able to reacquire it, he thought of me. I was very honored he did so.
Additionally, this new piece is giving me some slight distraction right now since I am racked with pain from a kidney stone. My first one and oh boy, the pain is unbelievable. At least it isn't cancer so I'm counting my blessings.
Thanks again to Dr. Tom and I hope you enjoy this little blue babe as much as I do (PCGS 65+ CAC):

Looks very nice.
Glad you have recovered from your financial problems, and wish you well your kidney stone recovery!
So cool!
I've always liked that coin and OUCH. Hope that stone is smaller then a dime

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
That is one BEAUTIFUL Dime!!!! Hope you recover soon. I had one of those and wanted someone to just shoot me!
Beautiful dime! And Tom B is cool!
Lovely toning, I like it.
When you finally see the stone you'll be so furious that something so tiny could cause so much discomfort. Best of luck.
Outstanding coin too, BTW.
That is a beautiful dime.
You and TomB have good taste.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Indeed, a gorgeous example ...
Beautiful coin perfect amount of blue in my opinion.
HAPPY COLLECTING
Nice coin and very cool Tom was able to get it back home to you.
Kidney stones are awful. Love the coin.
Exceptionally nice dime!
Whenever I don't feel good or feel down I usually buy a coin. That's what the doctor orders.
Nice little gem! Feel better.
Congratulations on the lovely reacquisition! I love the toning and the strong luster.
Also, get well soon!

First kidney stone last year. Thought I would rather die immediately. Pain not to be believed by anyone except by those who have experienced it.
I hope it passes quickly . . .

One kidney stone in the mid 2000's. Awful, but the prescribed Percocet made things a little more pleasant. Actually, a lot more pleasant. It was deemed to be about 1 mm too large to pass and so after several weeks the Dr. had to do the surgery to bust it up and fish it outta there.
As for the Barber dime, I've admired that coin in Tom's inventory twice now and have been a big fan. What a beautiful, pleasant blue tone. It is great that it has come back home to you!

TomB, has always been a class act. I hope you get well soon.
Really nice dime! I can relate about reacquiring a lost treasure.
Three time stoner...the last one had to be ultrasonically blasted into bits to pass.

Thank you for the very kind shout-out and I hope you recover quickly and painlessly from that nasty kidney stone. As for the coin, I absolutely adored this piece the moment I laid eyes on it and was delighted when the opportunity arose to purchase it again and offer it to you.

As for the kidney stones. Do you drink tap water with A high mineral content? If so, a good way to prevent them in the future is to drink distilled water. My father used to get them every 12-18 months and switched to distilled water about 5yrs ago. Since the he's only had them once FWIW
Pieces like this make me think about collecting Barber Dimes.
That is a very beautiful dime. I wish you relief from your pain of late. I would also recommend eliminating the drinking of "hard" water. Get well soon.
I also noticed that dime. May it be your 'good luck' piece.

NIce looking dime! Hope it eases the pain some. ( Ihope theygave you some tamsulosin to help move that thing along).
Thanks to all for the feedback and good wishes!
Now for the health update. Had the stone blasted out yesterday. The urine backup had caused an infection and now have an uncomfortable stent inserted for a week to drain all issues away. At least I now don't have the unbelievable pain any longer, thank God.

My brother and a neighbor both had one of those removed last year and it sounded really nasty. Hope you're out and about soon.
I also have an attractively toned 1892 P Barber Dime. Attractively toned business strike Barber coinage is rare (especially the halves). Is this a coincidence, or is the 1892 P a year for attractively toned Barber Dimes?

First year of issue = many saved = high survival = better odds for higher number of toned examples???
