This coin is a 1910 Philadelphia Mint Barber Dime, officially designated as a ten-cent piece, reflecting the classic design of the Barber series which was produced from 1892 to 1916. Struck in silver, this dime has a diameter of approximately 17.9 millimeters and a weight of 2.5 grams. With a total mintage of 11,520,000 coins, it represents a significant production run during this period. The Barber Dimes are known for their distinct features, including obverse and reverse designs that prominently display the image of Lady Liberty and a wreath, respectively. This particular coin hails from the Philadelphia Mint, indicated by the "P" mint mark, which is a characteristic of coins minted in this location after 1980; however, for Barber Dimes, it is generally referred to without a mint mark to denote Philadelphia. Given its age, condition plays a critical role in determining its value. Depending on its grade—from Good (AG) to Mint State (MS)—this coin could range in collectibility and monetary worth. Collectors find Barber Dimes appealing not only for their historical context but also for their aesthetic qualities, often seeking them out to complete their collections. Whether as an investment piece or a collectible, the 1910 Barber Dime remains a fascinating representation of early 20th-century American coinage.
