$1 FV 90% Silver Barber Dimes - VF

This $1 face value lot includes 10 Barber Dimes, each minted between 1892 and 1916 and preserved in Very Fine (VF) condition. These coins display strong definition in Liberty's hair, the wreath, and rim details—making them ideal for collectors who appreciate clear design features without the high premiums of XF or AU examples. Struck in 90% silver and designed by Charles E. Barber, these dimes carry both historical and intrinsic value.

Historical Insight:

Barber Dimes were minted during a dynamic era of U.S. industrial growth and innovation. The Very Fine grade offers a sweet spot for collectors—combining strong design visibility with the authentic charm of a coin that circulated over a century ago. As higher-grade Barber coinage becomes scarcer, VF Barber Dimes offer a compelling balance of collectibility, affordability, and silver value.
