Description
A dime from the New Orleans Mint, the 1901 (O) Barber Dime belongs to the Barber Dimes 1892-1916 series. With a mintage of 5.6 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 22% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing right wearing a Phrygian cap topped by a laurel wreath, with the word LIBERTY on a headband and the reverse displays an agricultural wreath of corn, wheat, oak, and maple enclosing the words ONE DIME. The 1901-S is a scarce San Francisco issue. Coined at the New Orleans Mint, which served the nation's southern economy from 1838 to 1909 and produced coins prized for their regional character. Estimated market value ranges from $16 to $1.3K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4825.
