What is the value of a 1902 US dime?

Answer 1

1902 is a relatively common date for Barber dimes in circulated condition. 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 - $4

Moderately worn - $6

Slightly worn - $8
