Barber Dimes are a series of coins that were minted in the United States from 1892 to 1916, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1896 Barber Dime, specifically minted in San Francisco, features the image of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath encircling a fasces on the reverse. As a collectible, the 1896-S Barber Dime is particularly sought after by numismatists due to its lower mintage compared to other years and its historical significance within the Barber series. Collectors often seek out these coins in higher grades for their investment potential and aesthetic appeal.
