Barber Dimes are a type of silver coin produced by the United States Mint from 1892 to 1916, designed by Charles E. Barber. The 1897 Barber Dime, specifically minted in San Francisco, features Liberty wearing a cap on the obverse side and an eagle on the reverse. Coins from this era are sought after by collectors, particularly those in high grades or with unique mintmarks, such as the 'S' for San Francisco. The 10-cent denomination was crafted from 90% silver and 10% copper, contributing to its numismatic value.
