New coin today - Barber

I really don't like the barber coins....too many denominations that look alike with a design that I find "bleh".
However, we've been looking for a quarter for the 7070 and, with the criteria I have (seeing the legends) and my son has of liking the coin or not, from pics supplied (or in person if at a local show), we got this one today.
If I hadn't already let him have the honor of opening the envelope and getting the coin (since it is for his 7070 that we are doing together), then it would be the one I slip under his pillow as we found out he needs to have a baby tooth removed
(he is only 5 years old....removing the tooth is going to suck....I feel for the little guy)
(any suggestions on a coin that would be good to get (and able to get delivered to us by June 5th) that would be good to put under his pillow? I have some Roosies coming but they are slabbed......he has seen the rest of what we have......may have to resort to an Ike or "Golden Dollar"

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I think I am not the only one around here that isn't partial to barbers

I would guess vf-20...your son should be very happy with the new addition for the Dansco 7070.

As for the Barber, on the basis of the photo, I personally do not care for it, but I have little interest or passions for Barbers, in general. Ironically, I really liked Barber dimes as a child; it was one of my favorite series.
RYK - I, personally, agree with you about the barbers, but, I did want us to fill the whole...that is part of what being a "typeset" is. I do have a barber dime I like more though
bfjohnson - from the pic, I was worried about that as well. Inhand, I looked and looked, with a loupe, and if it was cleaned, it wasn't harshly and I can't tell. It may have a very old, light, cleaning, but I honestly don't see it. I am fine with the coin based on my inhand inspection of it today.

<< <i>That is all that matters. Congrats on the nice Barber. >>
Thanks...but to me, all that really mattered is my son likes it (it is "our" typeset but it is really his and he knows it....he has "executive veto power" on any coin he doesn't like...and he did like this one)
