I have 2 1893 Barber dimes in good condition. I'm not looking to have my particular coins valued, this is a general question about the 1893 Barber dimes.

On the internet, I found several sites that list the coins value at good condition to be around 140 U.S. Dollars Even though 3.3 Million were minted. I have also found several sites that list the value at about 4.00 U.S. Dollars.

Which should I believe?

We'll need some pics to help. In textbook "Good" condition, I'd guess these would be worth up to $10 apiece.



to the CCF!

. Post pics and you will get a general idea of condition and from there, can easily research value.

What are these sites that are claiming $140 in good condition?

One problem in numismatics can be the use of language. At times our use of words is NOT the same as what most people are used to. When the average person describes a coin as being in "good" condition they mean it is very nice (although when it is actually seen we find that since they don't actually know what a really nice one looks like, they have overestimated its condition.) But to a collector, a coin in Good condition (notice the capitalization) is actually at the bottom end of the desirability scale.

Coins are worth whatever a person can get for it.

The value of coins depends heavily on their condition. Can you post some pics of the coin in question?
