Update - Got the last two.
I picked up the last 2 ones that MrsSpud needed at a coin show last weekend. They were her anniversary present from me (she got me the Bison Commemorative image). These are the only ones we could find in anywhere near decent condition in all of the coin shows we have attended recently. Some of the other ones we found for these dates and mintmarks were really bad. The only other 96S we found was bent and the only other 01S we found was actually an 04S with an altered date.

Original Post starts here.
Here's MrsSpuds current project. It started out when she bought a partial set of low grade ones at the flea market for the price of silver. Then she picked up another partial set of low grade ones at our coin club, again for about the price of silver. The rest she has been picking up at coin shows with the target grade being fine. She only needs 2 more to fill all of the holes in the set. Then the upgrades will commence.... image

    Fabulous set! I am working on a similar set, but still searching for the some of the earlier keys/semi keys. I hope to be there someday.
    Way to go MrsSpuds!!!

    Very cool set, and when those last two get filled, it will look even cooler.

    Nice. And getting the '95-O is a major milestone toward completing this set. And thankfully, they don't include a hole for a '94-S.

    Congrats MrsSpuds !

    That's how I have my Barber Dimes - only the key dates are slabbed - some were cracked out and put into the Dansco album - but the 95-O & 96-O are still holdered.

    Good luck finding the 96-S & 01-S, two tough coins !

    I love a big Dansco set all stuffed and full of coins. Cool. I especially like the 96-O, and the 99-O looks great too.

    Congrats.

    Oh, btw the way there is a really nice PCGS VF30 1904-S and NGC VF35 1894-O on Ebay right now. image

    Neat. I've sampled a few barber dimes, but my collection is far from complete. Barber dimes were the first coins I bought when I got back into collecting after college.

    That's a neat set. A coin collection filled with coins that did their job 100 years ago and then someone saved them.

    I love it...
