BCCS Rarity Survey 2008 - Barber Dimes In 2008, the Barber Coin Collectors' Society conducted a survey to ascertain rarity ratings for Barber Dimes. The survey did not estimate the actual number of surviving pieces, but rather a rating for relative availability and rarity. Other surveys have been completed for Barber Quarters and Halves the past two years, and will be conducted for Liberty Nickels in 2009.
