In 2008, the Barber Coin Collectors' Society conducted a survey to ascertain rarity ratings for Barber Dimes. The survey did not estimate the actual number of surviving pieces, but rather a rating for relative availability and rarity.

		Results of BCCS Barber Dime Rarity Survey - 2008

For the sake of this survey, the following rarity ratings were used: R1: Common date and grade R2: Better date and grade R3: Tough date – available, but may require some looking R4: Scarce – may or may not find at larger shows/auctions R5: Very scarce – only a few offered for sale each year R6: Almost never seen – only one or two may be offered for sale in a year’s time R7: Rare – a single specimen might, on average, be offered for sale once every few years R8: Unique, or nearly so Date AG G VG F VF XF AU MS   1892 - R1 R2 R2 R2 R1 R1 R1   1892-O - R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2   1892-S - R3 R3 R4 R4 R4 R4 R4   1893 - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R1   1893-O - R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R4 R3   1893-S - R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R4 R3   1894 - R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R4 R3   1894-O - R3 R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R5   1894-S R8 R8 - - - - - R7   1895 - R3 R4 R4 R4 R5 R5 R3   1895-O - R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R5 R6   1895-S - R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R4 R4   1896 - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R2   1896-O - R3 R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R5   1896-S - R3 R3 R4 R4 R4 R5 R4   1897 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R2 R2 R1   1897-O - R3 R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R3   1897-S - R2 R2 R3 R4 R4 R4 R5 Date AG G VG F VF XF AU MS   1898 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1898-O - R2 R2 R3 R4 R4 R5 R6   1898-S - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R5   1899 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1899-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R5   1899-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R3   1900 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R2 R2 R1   1900-O - R2 R3 R4 R4 R4 R5 R5   1900-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2   1901 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1901-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R4   1901-S - R3 R3 R3 R4 R5 R4 R4   1902 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R2   1902-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R4   1902-S - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R4   1903 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R3   1903-O - R2 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R3   1903-S - R3 R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R4   1904 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R2   1904-S - R3 R3 R4 R3 R4 R4 R3 Date AG G VG F VF XF AU MS   1905 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1905-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R2   1905-o - R3 R3 R4 R4 R5 R5 R6   1905-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2   1906 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1906-D - R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R3   1906-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R2   1906-S - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R3 R3   1907 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1907-D - R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R4   1907-O - R1 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R2   1907-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R4   1908 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1908-D - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R2   1908-O - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R3   1908-S - R1 R1 R2 R2 R3 R3 R3   1909 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1909-D - R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R4 R4   1909-O - R2 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R3   1909-S - R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R4 R5   1910 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1910-D - R1 R2 R2 R3 R3 R3 R2   1910-S - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R4 R3 Date AG G VG F VF XF AU MS   1911 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1911-D - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1911-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 R1   1912 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1912-D - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1912-S - R1 R1 R2 R2 R2 R2 R2   1913 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1913-S - R2 R3 R3 R3 R4 R5 R2   1914 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1914-D - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1914-S - R2 R2 R2 R2 R3 R3 R2   1915 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1915-S - R2 R2 R3 R3 R4 R3 R3   1916 - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1   1916-S - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1
