$1 FV 90% Silver Barber Dimes - XF

Each $1 face value lot includes 10 Barber Dimes minted between 1892 and 1916, all composed of 90% silver and graded in Extra Fine (XF) condition. These coins exhibit light wear on the highest points with nearly full detail in Liberty's hair, the laurel wreath, and reverse elements. XF Barber Dimes are increasingly difficult to source in volume, making this offering ideal for collectors seeking eye appeal, historical depth, and vintage silver in better-than-average condition.

Historical Insight:

The Barber Dime series reflects an era when coins were both functional currency and finely crafted symbols of national identity. Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, these dimes circulated during a period of American expansion and modernization. XF examples offer a glimpse of the original artistry without the high cost of mint-state coins. Whether you're building a higher-grade type set or adding premium vintage silver to your holdings, these XF Barber Dimes deliver beauty, history, and lasting value.
