USA 1912-D Barber Dime, Fine.\u00a0 Complete LIBERTY, but some letters are weak.<\/p>\n
Coins are named in strange ways.\u00a0 Normally, they are named after the design elements (i.e Walking Liberty Half Dollar, Buffalo Nickel, etc.) or the person on the coin (i.e. Washington Quarter Dollar, Franklin Half Dollar, etc.).\u00a0 Sometimes, however, they are named after the designer (i.e. Morgan Dollar, Paquet Double Eagle, etc.).\u00a0 Technically, the Dimes of this style, issued from 1892-1916, should be called Liberty Head Dimes, but for some reason they were named after their designer, Charles Barber.\u00a0 The same is true of the similarly designed Quarter Dollars and Half Dollars of this period.<\/p>\n
The Barber Dime series is fairly large, mostly because of the variety of mintmarks that were used.\u00a0 The real stopper in this series is the exceedingly rare 1894-S Dime.\u00a0 Other key dates include 1895-O, 1897-O, 1901-S, and 1903-S.\u00a0 Mid-grade Barber Dimes in VF or better are very scarce.\u00a0 For some reason, it is easier to find most dates in Good condition or Mint State than it is to find a nicely balanced Extremely Fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
