1905-O Micro O Dime MS FS-501 Values
Details
Scarce and underrated variety. Ironcially, the smaller O mintmark, is the one used for the Barber quarter of the same year.
Obverse: Charles Barber's depiction of Liberty is portrayed facing right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery and the date centered at the bottom.
Reverse: ONE DIME is centered in the middle of the reverse surrounded by a wreath tied by a bow at the bottom. Mint mark, if any, appears below the bow at the bottom.
