Overview

The obverse features the head of Liberty facing right, wearing a Phrygian cap and a laurel wreath. The reverse traditionally features a wreath of agricultural products surrounding the words 'ONE DIME'.

Historical significance

Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, this series was part of a major redesign of US silver coinage in the late 19th century. It represents the Gilded Age and the early 20th century transition in American currency.

Estimated value

$2 - $5 in heavily worn condition; higher for specific dates or better grades.

Care & preservation

Do not clean the coin as this can permanently damage its surfaces and lower its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free flip or archival-safe coin holder in a cool, dry place.
