1912-S Barber Dime MS-64 PCGS
The 1912 Barber dime represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Minted at the San Francisco facility, this ten-cent piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its reverse. Out of a total mintage of 3,420,000 struck for this year and location, very few survive in such exceptional preservation. This particular specimen has been graded Mint State 64 (MS-64), indicating a high level of original luster and minimal surface marks from its time in storage. Struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.0723 troy ounces, the coin features the iconic Liberty head on the obverse, facing right and wearing a laureate crown. The word 'LIBERTY' is clearly visible on her headband, surrounded by the legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the date '1912' below. The reverse displays the denomination 'ONE DIME' enclosed within a traditional wreath, with the San Francisco 'S' mint mark positioned at the bottom. This coin offers a remarkable window into early twentieth-century American coinage design and manufacturing quality.
