Famous & Notable Barber Dime Errors
These are the Barber dime varieties collectors usually check first. Buttons open the reference source in the same popup style as the other error pages.
1893-S S/S RPM FS-501
Recognized repunched San Francisco mintmark variety. This is one of the Barber dime varieties with both Variety Vista and PCGS reference support.
1901-O O/Horizontal O FS-501
Popular New Orleans mintmark variety where the O mintmark shows horizontal O evidence. A strong notable variety for Barber dime collectors.
1906-D D/D RPD & RPM FS-302
Denver Barber dime variety combining repunched date and mintmark diagnostics. Good candidate for close-up mintmark/date checks.
1912-S DDO FS-101
Doubled-die obverse listing for a later Barber dime issue. Useful to include because most Barber dime varieties are RPD/RPM types.
