What is the value of an 1897 barber dime?

Answer 1

== == The first wheat-back cents were struck in 1909, with the familiar portrait of Lincoln on the obverse.

Assuming you're referring to an Indian head cent, an 1896 coin retails for about $1 in worn condition, $3 with moderate wear, and $8 with slight wear

Answer 2

This is one of the better dates of Barber Dimes that has good value even in the lower grades: G-4 $81.00/VG-8 $161.00/F-12 $288.00. Most Barber dimes fall into one of these grades. If you think it will grade higher, take it to a dealer or collector for a grade.

Answer 3

8-8-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1907-O Barber dime is a better date of the series. Circulated coins are easily obtainable and most show heavy wear. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $6.00-$35.00, better grade are $40.00-$80.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $90.00-$170.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have little or no value to a collector or dealer.
