1895-O Barber Dime Good
The 1895 Barber dime represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this ten-cent piece carries the distinctive 'O' mint mark, signaling its origin in the American South. Minted in 90 percent silver, each coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal, surviving today in a circulated state graded as Good. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of the coin showcases a profile 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 frames the face value of the denomination, 'ONE DIME', creating a balanced and enduring aesthetic that defined United States pocket change during this era.
