Barber Dimes are a type of ten-cent coin produced by the United States Mint from 1892 to 1916, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1898 Barber Dime, particularly from the New Orleans Mint (marked with an "O"), is sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relative scarcity. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, featuring Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Collectibility factors include mint mark location, condition, and overall rarity.
