Barber Dimes are a type of silver coin issued by the United States Mint from 1892 to 1916, designed by engraver Charles E. Barber. The 1916 Barber Dime, struck in Philadelphia, is notable as one of the final years of the series, which became less popular due to its design and the introduction of the more modern Mercury Dime the following year. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, featuring a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Collectors value Barber Dimes for their historical significance and the artistry of their design.
