1916-S Barber Dime Good/VG
Struck in the final year of its series, this 1916 ten-cent piece represents the end of an era in United States coinage. Minted in San Francisco, the coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. Having circulated through daily commerce, it now displays the honest wear of a piece graded in Good to Very Good condition. The obverse features a classic depiction of Lady Liberty, styled with a laurel wreath resting upon her head and wearing a Phrygian cap. Surrounding her profile is the legend showing the nation of origin, United States of America, along with the 1916 date of manufacture at the bottom. On the reverse, the coin features a detailed wreath that encircles the face value, which is written simply as One Dime. This elegant combination of agricultural imagery and bold denomination completes a design that defined American pocket change at the turn of the twentieth century.
