A dime dated 1896 is called a Barber Dime after its designer, Charles Barber. Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the wreath. It may be blank or there may be an O or S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 05/2011:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $13

Moderately worn - $53

Slightly worn - $74

Almost no wear - $111

Uncirculated - $180 to $13,000 depending on quality

"O" mint mark (New Orleans):

Very worn - $83

Moderately worn - $300

Slightly worn - $402

Almost no wear - $824

Uncirculated - $1,170 to $19,500

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $89

Moderately worn - $306

Slightly worn - $340

Almost no wear - $538

Uncirculated - $810 to $7,120

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.
