History of the 1910 Barber Dime

The 1910 Barber Dime is a beautiful coin that is typically well-struck thanks to the excellent craftsmanship of the Philadelphia Mint. While this is a more common coin, it can still command a premium for the highest grades. Charles Barber designed the Barber Quarter and the Barber Half Dollar. The design on this coin features a right facing profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse wearing an olive branch crown with a ribbon, and a headband with “LIBERTY” inscribed on it. The reverse of the coin features a wreath of corn, oak and maple leaves, and wheat, and frames the word One Dime.

 

1910 Barber Dime Value

The 1910 Barber Dime value reaches upwards of $23,000 for some of the highest graded coins on the market. While this is on the higher end for a Barber Dime, it’s possible to build a more affordable collection by finding a circulated and lower Mint State grade Barber Dime for sale. The 1910 Barber Dime is a gorgeous coin that would make a valuable addition to any Barber Dime series collection.
