Not seeing an O. If you can show the whole reverse that might help us, too.

I think I might see one, but I can't tell for sure. What's the date?
Full pictures may help as well.

its an 1896, which makes it all the more UNLIKELY that it is an O

On an 1896-O Barber dime the O is toward the left, this coin has the mintmark more towards the right. The 1896-S has a mintmark leaning towards the right, which corresponds with your coin. Your coin is likely an 1896-S. I can't see the whole coin, but 1896-S is a semi-key and worth about $30-$40 in the condition I'm seeing. Nice find!     Edited by Omegaraptor

I had an 1896-O Dime - in 58 : but I sold it 6 yrs ago - its been replaced with a nicer looking AU 55...images are God Knows Where !!?   The positioning of the MM may help you with your coin. |
