A Turn-of-the-Century Dime, Preserved in Time
Struck at the height of America’s industrial rise, the 1898 Barber Dime reflects a nation finding its footing on the world stage. Designed by Charles E. Barber, Liberty appears calm and composed—an intentional expression of stability during an era of rapid change.
Offered here in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, this dime retains the crisp detail and original character it had the day it left the Mint. Where most examples were worn smooth through daily use, this one escaped circulation, allowing its fine lines and luster to endure.
