1897 Barber Silver Dime – Philadelphia Mint – Good / Very Good (G/VG) / Full Date & Rims

Add a genuine piece of 19th-century American history to your coin album with this 1897 Barber Silver Dime. Struck at the main Philadelphia Mint, this classic United States silver coin represents a bygone era of American commerce, circulating through the U.S. economy during the late Victorian era and the Turn of the Century.

Graded as a solid Good to Very Good (G/VG), this raw coin features the honest, heavy pocket wear that defines authentic, circulated antique silver. Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the obverse portrait of Liberty remains clearly outlined with a completely readable, bold "1897" date. The reverse features a distinct, full agricultural wreath of corn, wheat, maple, and oak leaves enclosing the denomination.

Importantly, this coin retains full, complete rims on both sides that do not merge into the design or lettering—a critical detail for collectors searching for clean, problem-free low-grade fillers. Vetted by a dealer with extensive grading experience, this historic 90% silver coin is completely uncleaned with a natural, attractive grey circulated patina.
