Barber Dime Value is Rising
Your Barber dime value is $2 to $3 for a common date coin in heavily worn "Good" condition. If your coin is better preserved the value increases to $11 in "Extremely Fine" condition.
However, the coin you are hoping to discover in your box is the 1895-O. Avidly sought by dealers and collectors, in Good condition it is easily worth $290 and quickly rising to $1,400 in Extremely Fine condition.
To highlight a few more rarities, the 1892-S, 1901-S and the 1904-S are all worth at least $110 when found in nice condition. In fact many dates have values of $20 to $30, and the better the condition of the coin the higher the value.
Rising up the condition scale, any "Uncirculated" Barber Dime value is over $40 to $50 with many starting above $200. See more about condition and "Grading" your coins below.
