Every Barber dime is made of 90% silver, which means it has inherent melt value for the precious metal. Any Barber dime from any year, even in worn condition, tends to be worth at least four dollars.

Only nine 1894-S proof Barber dimes are accounted for today ... out for all pre-1965 Roosevelt dimesbecause they contain a 90% silver composition and are worth much more than the face value.
