1897 Barber Dime AG3
$7.50
1897 Barber Dime AG3 stands as a notable entry in the Barber Dime series, professionally graded AG3 with the holder and label documenting the assigned grade. Collectors often pursue these issues to complete their sets from the era. The design showcases Charles E.
Barber's Liberty head on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this piece weighs 0.07234 troy ounces and represents a turn-of-the-century dime design. Such coins hold strong appeal for those assembling collections of 90% silver dimes by date and mint, serving as a bridge to the later Mercury type in American coinage history.
