8-6-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1893 Barber dime is a common date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $7.00-$25.00, better grade are $30.00-$60.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $70.00-$135.00. 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 far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
