On the obverse of the coin is a bust of a woman symbolizing Freedom. Her hair is bordered by a laurel wreath and a diadem with the inscription "LIBERTY" on it. Above the image of Freedom in a semicircle is "IN GOD WE TRUST", at the bottom - the dating of the year, and on the sides there are 13 stars in the number of first states. On the basis of the neck, you can see the letter "B", which is the monogram of the engraver Barber.

On the reverse there is a wreath of olive branches, bundles of wheat and corn cobs. The denomination of the coin "ONE DIME" is indicated in the center. Under the wreath can be located one of the letters "D", "O" or "S", which are the designation of mints (Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco, respectively), on which the coin was minted

reeded

Barber's 10 cents were minted from 1892 to 1916. They changed 10 cents with Freedom seated on them. Coins with the image of sitting Freedom were in use for more than 50 years. Also since 1879 the print runs were minimal. In this regard, a large number of loose coins of poor quality accumulated [1]. This was the prerequisite for the development of coins of a new type. The competition was announced, which was won by engraver Charles Barber. He designed the design of 10-, 25- and 50-cent coins. These 3 coins are similar in many respects. The obverse image is identical, the reverse of 25- and 50-cent coins is practically the same.
