Barber Dimes, designed by Charles E. Barber, were minted in the United States from 1892 to 1916. The 1897 Barber Dime, particularly from the San Francisco mint (S mint mark), is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relative scarcity. This ten-cent coin features the head of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse, making it a popular choice among numismatists. Collectors often seek out higher grades for this coin to enhance its value.
