About Barber Dimes
The simple design of the head of Lady Liberty graced the United States Ten Cent piece for a period of twenty five years. The coin was composed of 0.900 fine silver with a balance of copper and was struck at Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans, and San Francisco. The reverse of the coin bears a cereal wreath borrowed from the earlier Seated Liberty Design.
This type originated from a desire in the late 1880s to replace the long-running Seated Liberty design that had been in use for over fifty years. To accomplish this task, the mint sought to have a juried panel and invite artists across the nation to create new illustrations for the obverse and reverse of the dime, quarter dollar, and half dollar. On this panel were Chief Engraver Charles Barber, acclaimed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Boston-based engraver Henry Mitchell.
