The 1911-D Barber Dime contains a mintage of over 11 million and was minted at the Denver Mint. The 1911-D Barber Dime carries the "D" mint-mark to indicate where the coins were minted.Exhibiting some wear around the edges but not compromising the main image details, the 1911-D Barber Dime is in very fine condition. The Denver Mint was established in 1906, participating in the Barber Half Dollar series that same year. The Denver Mint is known for its production of mint sets and commemorative coins. It also holds the leading spot for being the single largest producer of coins in the world.
There are many coin collections with their own individual history, intriguing collectors through the ages. The Barber collection is one of the only coin series to simultaneously have the same design on the half dollar, quarter, and dime. When the Seated Liberty Half Dollar had run its course, the Mint Director Edward Leech, wanted to hold a competition for the next coinage design. Adding the appeal of a cash prize for the winner, the local turnout was a bit underwhelming. The artists that were invited to participate wanted a different prize, under different terms, and withdrew when their needs weren't met. Leech resorted to inside the mint, wherein he worked with the Chief Engraver at the time, to construct a new design. The Chief Engraver, William Barber, was approved by president, Benjamin Harrison, to move forward with the Barber coinage.
