1909-S Barber Dime – Historic San Francisco Silver Coin
Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this classic U.S. coin is part of the renowned Barber series designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, whose timeless Liberty portrait remains one of the most iconic designs in American numismatics.
The obverse features Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and headband inscribed with “LIBERTY,” while the reverse displays a traditional wreath surrounding the denomination. Composed of 90% silver, the 1909-S Barber Dime combines intrinsic silver value with strong collector appeal, particularly among enthusiasts assembling date-and-mintmark sets.
San Francisco Barber coinage is especially popular due to lower mintages and extensive circulation during the era, making surviving examples increasingly sought after. Issued during a transformative period in American history, this coin offers both historical significance and classic vintage charm.
Whether added to a Barber series collection, silver coin portfolio, or early U.S. type set, the 1909-S Barber Dime remains a standout collectible with enduring numismatic value.
