(13) U.S. Silver Dimes - Barber, Mercury & Roosevelt, 1911-1964, 90% Silver Group - Thirteen-piece group of United States silver ten-cent pieces spanning 1911 through 1964, all struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, each weighing 2.50 grams with 0.07234 troy oz of silver per coin. The lot begins with a 1911 Barber dime (Charles E. Barber design), followed by mid-century Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) issues including 1943-D and 1944 examples, and concluding with silver Roosevelt dimes of the 1950s and the final-year 1964 90% silver issue. Total actual silver weight for the group is approximately 0.94 troy oz.This three-type grouping presents over five decades of American circulating silver coinage, moving from the classic Barber Liberty portrait through Adolph A. Weinman?s highly sculptural Mercury design and into John R. Sinnock?s Roosevelt motif. The inclusion of the 1911 Barber dime adds earlier 20th-century representation and stronger collector appeal beyond a standard mid-century silver accumulation. The Mercury and Roosevelt issues include World War II?era coinage and the last year of 90% silver production before the 1965 clad transition, enhancing both historic and bullion significance.All pieces display honest circulation with readable dates and clear primary devices. Surfaces show natural silver-gray toning with typical contact consistent with age and use. Condition: Circulated examples ranging approximately Fine to About Uncirculated; all with clear dates and natural silver patina.
