Coin / United States of America / 1913 / Philadelphia / Barber Dimes / 10ยข (Ten Cents, Dime)

This coin is a 1913 Barber Dime, a notable piece in the realm of American numismatics. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it is part of the Barber series, named after its designer, Charles E. Barber. The coin has a denomination of 10 cents and is made from silver, adding to its intrinsic value. One of the remarkable features of this particular piece is its status as a proof coin, which indicates that it was struck specifically for collectors, typically with higher craftsmanship and finishes than coins intended for circulation. The production of this coin was limited, with a mintage of only 622 pieces, making it quite rare and sought after among collectors. Measuring 17.9 mm in diameter and weighing 2.5 grams, this dime showcases the elegant design that features Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. As a piece of history from the United States of America, this 1913 Barber Dime is not only a beautiful representation of early 20th-century coinage but also a valuable asset for collectors, both for its artistic merit and its rarity.
