In the reverse design of 1899-O Barber Dime Coins, Barber offers a simple design for the 10-cent piece.

Barber Dimes were part of the broader Barber Coinage Series from Charles E. Barber, 6th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. His designs appeared on the dime, quarter, and half dollar from 1892 to 1916, with a shared Liberty bust used on all three denominations. The dime was unique among the three for its use of a simple wreath with the denomination on the reverse. The quarter and half dollar featured a more ornate heraldic eagle design.
