Barber Dimes are a type of U.S. ten-cent coin designed by Charles E. Barber, which were minted from 1892 to 1916. The 1896 Barber Dime, specifically, is notable for its design featuring Liberty in a cap surrounded by stars on the obverse and a wreath with the denomination "One Dime" on the reverse. The New Orleans Mint produced a limited number of these coins, which adds to their rarity and desirability among collectors. Condition, mint mark, and year of issue significantly influence their market value.
