You're looking at a 1907 Barber Dime, a ten-cent coin issued by the United States Mint. This particular dime was minted in San Francisco, as indicated by its 'S' mint mark. The Barber Dime series features a design by the renowned sculptor Charles E. Barber and is notable for its classic depiction of Liberty wearing a cap, surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel leaves on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the denomination and a stylized eagle. This coin measures 17.9 mm in diameter and weighs 2.5 grams, consistent with the U.S. dime specifications. The material composition is 90% silver and 10% copper, which gives it a brilliant luster that collectors and silver aficionados appreciate. With a total mintage of 3,178,470, the 1907 Barber Dime is not among the rarest issues of the series. However, its value can vary significantly based on its condition, ranging from a few dollars for heavily circulated examples to a higher premium for coins in mint condition. As a member of the Barber Dime series, this coin holds a place in the hearts of many numismatists and serves as a beautiful reminder of early 20th-century American coinage.
