1908-O Barber Dime VG
This ten-cent piece from 1908 represents a fascinating era of United States coinage, minted in New Orleans during the early twentieth century. Struck in 90 percent silver, this dime contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. It has survived in Very Good condition, meaning it retains its essential design elements despite more than a century of potential circulation. The coin showcases the artistry of Charles Barber. On the obverse, a classic depiction of Lady Liberty faces right, wearing a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap, with the word Liberty visible in her hair. This side is framed by the year 1908 and the name of the issuing nation. The reverse features a lush wreath that encircles the denomination, which is written as One Dime. Both sides of this silver piece are framed by a complete, intact rim, which has helped preserve the central details over the decades.
