Historical Significance

Designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, this series was part of a major redesign of US silver coinage in the late 19th century. It represents the Gilded Age and the early 20th century transition in American currency.

Estimated Value

Care Instructions

Do not clean the coin as this can permanently damage its surfaces and lower its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free flip or archival-safe coin holder in a cool, dry place.
