Barber Dime Values – Coin Price Guide
The Barber coin design was featured on dimes, quarters and half dollars. These coins, designed by United States Mint Chief Engraver Charles Barber, were minted from 1892 to 1916.
Barber Dimes contain 90 percent Silver, alloyed with 10 percent Copper.
When the U.S. Mint was ready to replace the Seated Liberty design in the late 1880’s, Mint Director Edward Leech planned a design competition to find new artwork for the coinage.
VALUE MAY LIE IN THE MINT MARK
Barber Dime values are based on several factors but mint marks are of primary interest to collectors. The coin’s mint mark, showing where it was struck, appears on the reverse under the wreath. Taking mint year 1909 for example, the most coveted Barber Dime is the 1909-S. That S tells us the dime was minted in San Francisco. These dimes can be valued at $4.63 in Good condition while one in Extremely Fine condition may fetch $135. A 1909-D, minted in Denver, may be valued around $100 in Extremely Fine condition. A 1909-O, minted in New Orleans, could command up to $73 in Extremely Fine condition. The most common 1909 Barber Dime was minted in Philadelphia and bears no mint mark. These coins have values from less than $2 to $21.
BARBER DIME VALUES ON THE RISE
Collectors seek Barber Dimes for several reasons. While prices can and do fluctuate, these Silver coins may see increasing price appreciation in the coming years as the coins age. With each passing year, Barber coins become scarcer. This is true of all coins but especially of Barber dimes, which were minted for a relatively short time. These facts taken in consideration with the Barber Dime’s metal content make for a desirable collector coin.
