Barber Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins designed by Charles E. Barber, serving as the Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint from 1880 to 1917. The coins were minted from 1892 to 1916 and feature a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 1899 Barber Dime, minted in Philadelphia, is a notable year among the series, contributing to its collectibility. Coins from this era are valued based on their condition, rarity, and demand among collectors.
