  • Description:

    The 1906-S Barber Dime has a low mintage of just over 3.1 million coins minted and was minted by one of the top mints still standing, the San Francisco Mint. The 1906-S Barber Dime is considered to be in good condition. Good condition entails severe wear on both sides of the coin but the date is still readable. The 1906-S Barber Dime will be packaged in a coin flip to ensure proper protection while in transit. William Barber, the designer of the Barber series, stuck with a classic portrayal of Liberty on his coins. Liberty's distinct profile is captured and her head is adorned with a Acanthus leaf crown. Barber was the Chief Engraver when he was asked to design a new half dollar, dime, and quarter. His design was received with mixed emotions by the public but was still able to last a couple of decades.

    There is good reason why Lady Liberty stands in New York's harbor or why her portrait graces almost every US coin. Liberty has always been an important and patriotic symbol in the US. She represents everything this nation has fought for and continues to fight for: liberty, freedom, democracy. Since the Mint Act of 1792, all US Mint branches are required to include some symbol of Liberty on the currency. Liberty's history dates back to Greek mythology, wherein she was a goddess among the warrior and is the reason why she is always portrayed as a Grecian goddess. Her importance can be compared to a president's importance, wherein she is also included on US currency along with certain presidents' portraits. Usually, Lady Liberty is depicted as a tall and slender woman who resembles a Greek goddess. Her clothes are a light-weight Grecian robe and she is almost always holding another patriotic symbol, such as a torch or olive branches.
