Collecting coins has been popular throughout the world and history. Some people collect coins as an investment others such as myself collect coins as a hobby and I started collecting coins many years ago. My interest was more in the coins itself and not so much as to the grade of the coins, though I always looked for the best grade possible within my budget. For people who collect anything; coins, stamps, art work or even rocks for a hobby, one thing that makes the hobby worth while, other than the ownership of the object, is to be able to display and show them to others.
The Barber dimes’ obverse, pictures Liberty facing to the right wearing a Phrygian cap with a laurel wreath and ribbon, also a headband with the word “liberty” written on it. The portrait is encircled by the words “United States of America”. The reverse has the words “One Dime” surrounded by a wreath. The coin was designed by Charles E. Barber in which the coin is named after. The coin was minted from 1892 to 1916. It is 90% silver, 10% copper with a 17.9 mm diameter.
