AN almost complete set of Barber dimes recently sold on eBay for more than $1,100.

The coin, which gets its name from engraver and designer Charles E. Barber, was struck by the US mint from 1892 to 1916.

The design of the dime features an image of Liberty looking to the right with the date below on the obverse.

The reverse features oak, maple, corn, and wheat leaves surrounding the denomination of the coin that reads “One Dime”.

In February, an eBay user sold a set of 71 Barber silver dimes for a total of $1,108.99.

Given that the denomination of a dime is only 10 cents, that means at least some of those pieces hold value.

Of course, keep in mind that the value of each coin could depend on grade and condition – which the seller did not list.

The Barber dimes that sold are as follows:

Some rare coins in the set

There are a few coins in the set that could be quite valuable. 

The rarest piece in the set is the 1895-O Barber dime, which only has a reported mintage of 440,000. 

According to USA Coin Book, the piece is worth $608 in average condition and up to $11,086. 

A couple of other ones valuable pieces in the set include the 1896-O and the 1901-S Barber dimes.

These coins are worth up to $2,646 and $1,981, respectively.

But keep in mind that the maximum value applies to mint state graded coins - meaning they are tougher to find because they were never issued for circulation.  

Which dimes are missing from the set?

There are a few dimes in the Barber series missing from the set. 

The most notable one is the 1894-S Barber dime, which is one of the most valuable coins in existence. 

With an original mintage of 24, only just nine of them are said to still exist. 

In other words, good luck finding it. 

If you happen to get lucky, congrats on becoming a potential millionaire. 

The 1892-O, 1892-S and 1898-S Barber pieces are also missing from the set.

What is your spare change worth?

Dimes aren't the only coins that could be worth a serious mint.

You’ll want to check your change for rare nickels, half dollars, quarters, Lincoln cents, and others because some of these coins sell for thousands.

The most valuable coins are usually those with a low mintage or an error, as they're deemed the most valuable by collectors.

To check if your coins are worth anything on eBay, search the full name, select the "sold" listing and then toggle the search to "highest value”.

It will give you an idea of the amount of money that the coin is going for.

You can either choose to sell the coin on eBay or through a specialist site such as Coinappraiser or USA Coin Book.
