1909-S Barber Dime AG
The 1909 silver dime struck at the San Francisco Mint carries the unmistakable marks of a long journey through American commerce. Graded as Almost Good, this coin shows the honest wear of a piece that passed through countless hands at the turn of the twentieth century. Despite its heavy circulation, the coin retains its historic character, minted from a silver alloy containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. Designed by Charles Barber, the obverse of this ten-cent piece depicts Lady Liberty facing right, adorned with a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap. On the reverse, a detailed agricultural wreath encircles the face value of the coin, with the San Francisco "S" mint mark positioned at the very bottom. This issue represents a classic era of United States coinage, offering a tangible connection to the daily transactions of 1909.
