- John Feigenbaum, President, David Lawrence Rare Coin, Interviewer: David Lisot.
One of the classic rarities of United States numismatics has traded hands. John Feigenbaum, president of David Lawrence Rare Coins, has purchased a PCGS PR64 example of the 1894-S Barber dime, one of less than two dozen known. John shares the story how he was able to purchase such a rarity of this why it has been considered such a classic.

When I bought my Barber Dime Album, (Dansco) I told the Coin Dealer.."If this has a slot for the 1894 S Dime I will not buy it. It INTELLIGENTLY does NOT. Who wants to have an album, that will NEVER be Complete. (it has been filled). David Lawrence Coin, sells Quality Coins. I am fortunate to own a few.
It's 80% true; 20% urban myth. There is a recorded story of Hallie Daggett telling coin dealer Earl Parker that she spent one or two of the dimes on ice cream soon after she received them from her father (he was the San Francisco Mint Superintendant in 1894). We know of two very low grade, well worn coins survived and one is referred to as the "Ice Crem Specimen".
John Feigenbaum hey John I got a bunch of old coins I've been passed down to me wondering if I could send them ship them to you and have you look at them and see what your thoughts some of them are from the World War II my grandfather picked up and then or something you know foreign money Australian money he's just in the bag right now I have them all laid out and took pictures of them with a camera so I got them all take that way just curious if you'd be interested in taking a look at them
We have only Daggett's word that he had 24 dimes struck. I've not seen a census. If there are two from Hallie Daggett and two low grade dimes, including the one spent for ice cream and one supposedly bought at Gimbels for $2.40, that makes four; I know of 5 other sales. That brings the total to 9, assuming that the sales I know of are not included in the 4 I knew or are not themselves duplicates. Where are the remaining 13? Is 24 accurate? The $2.40 price suspiciously echos the 24 count. Assuming that these dimes were made to even out bookkeeping at the mint-which seems an odd way to fix what could be finessed or otherwise repaired-and given as mementos to "important bankers," do we know who these important bankers were?
One of the great mysteries of life.: where are the other 15 1894 S dimes?
you're the man john!!!
Anyone know how much is a copy of my 1894 s Dime
they say there are nine dimes in existence. my bartender,while hunting arrowheads apparently found a tenth. worn but completely legible. what would this be worth?, Or who would I contact to find out its worth?
Mike Beck if it's real pcgs
NGC be the people to contact.
Good luck
I got a 1851 dollar coin way older than the one, he buy for a million dollars.
So did John ever sell it, and if so, to whom?
Yo tengo una de esas monedas pero de 1893
Nothing says American overindulgence like paying a million bucks for ten cents
