Barber Dimes
Barber Dimes were minted from 1892 to 1916. Barber Dimes were very popular, replacing the 55-year old Seated Liberty design. They largely went into circulation and stayed there, and most of the earlier dates are available mainly in low grades. |
In addition to the 1895-O, the series contains numerous semi-key dates, including 1895, 1896-O and -S, 1901-S, 1903-S, and 1904-S. Some dates are relatively common, but very difficult in higher grades (such as the 1909-D). The series has been gaining popularity in recent years, and is obtainable in most grades with some diligent searching (excluding the 1894-S of course!).
For information on grading Barber Dimes, please see the Grading Barber Dimes page.
