1895-O Barber Dime AG
The 1895 Barber dime minted in New Orleans represents a fascinating moment in American coinage, notable for its exceptionally low mintage of just 440,000 pieces. Crafted from 90 percent silver, this ten-cent piece carries a total precious metal content of 0.0715 troy ounces. Its survival in any condition, including this heavily circulated Almost Good state, offers a tangible connection to the late nineteenth century. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of the coin displays a classic representation of Lady Liberty. She is depicted wearing a traditional Phrygian cap and a laurel wreath, symbols deeply rooted in classical imagery. The reverse of the coin features a detailed wreath that encircles the face value of the dime, creating a balanced and elegant frame for the denomination. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, as indicated by the 'O' mint mark, this coin belongs to the celebrated Barber series. It stands as a compelling artifact for anyone intrigued by the artistry and survival of early United States silver coinage.
