The Barber Dime was introduced by the United States Mint in 1892, replacing the Seated Liberty design that had been in production since 1837. Named after Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, who created the design, this coin was part of a comprehensive redesign that also included the quarter and half dollar. This 1904 Barber Dime is a product of the San Francisco Mint and features a Very Good 10 certification. Right now, the 1904-S Barber Dime is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1904-S Barber Dime is available here in Very Good 10 condition. The typical coin in VG10 condition has medium to heavy wear throughout, but some of its original details will still be visible. A general rule of thumb for Barber Coins at this grade indicates that three or more letters in LIBERTY will be easily visible, along with select other details.
The 1904-S Barber Dime, minted at the San Francisco Mint, is notable for its relatively low mintage of 800,000 pieces, making it one of the scarcer issues in the series. This coin is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades, as many examples saw heavy circulation along the West Coast. The “S” mintmark appears on the reverse below the wreath, identifying its San Francisco origin.
The obverse of the 1904-S Barber Dime features a right-facing profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with a laurel wreath and a ribbon inscribed with “LIBERTY.” The design includes 13 stars representing the original colonies, with seven stars to the left of Liberty’s portrait and six to the right. The word “LIBERTY” appears on the headband, and the date is positioned below the bust, creating a classical and dignified composition that reflects the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
The reverse of the 1904-S Barber Dime displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, symbolizing peace and military readiness. The denomination “ONE DIME” is prominently featured below the eagle, while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” arcs above. A wreath of agricultural products surrounds the eagle, emphasizing America’s agrarian heritage and prosperity during this era.
