Best Answer

This design was minted during the first part of 1916 and can be identified by a wreath on the back and a portrait of Miss Liberty on the front, facing to the right. The name comes not from a hair salon but from the coin's designer, Charles Barber.

Look under the wreath to see if there's a small mint mark letter. It may be blank, or there may be an S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2013:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):
Very worn condition - $3
Moderately worn - $6
Slightly worn - $15
Almost no wear - $61
Uncirculated - $104 to $4,580 depending on quality


"S" mint mark (San Francisco):
Very worn condition - $3
Moderately worn - $6
Slightly worn - $15
Almost no wear - $65
Uncirculated - $108 to $2,310


DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
