Barber's other designs for the Mint include the Barber quarter and half dollar, which share the same iconic design as the Barber dime. 11. 1942 Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime (1916-1945)12. 1948 Roosevelt Dime (1946-1964)13. 1967 Roosevelt Dime (Clad, No Mint Mark) (1965-Present) Between 1963 in 1965, the United States experienced a coin shortage. This shortage was mainly due to the rising price of silver, causing the intrinsic melt value of silver coins to be worth more than their face value. As a result, in 1965, the United States began converting all its silver coins to a copper-nickel clad composition. John Sinnock's design of the Roosevelt dime remained unchanged. However, the United States Mint continued to blame the coin shortage on coin collectors. Therefore from 1965 through 1967, they removed all mint marks from United States coins. Beginning in 1968, the mint resumed using mint marks to identify where the coins were made. 14. 1906 Barber Quarter (1892-1916)15. 1926 Standing Liberty Quarter (1917-1930) 16. 1951 Washington Quarter (1932-1964)17. 1967 Washington Quarter (1965-Present)18. 1902 Barber Half Dollar (1842-1916)19. 1940 Walking Liberty Half Dollar (1916-1947)20. 1963 Franklin Half Dollar (1948-1963)21. 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar22. 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar (1965-Present) 23. 1899 Morgan Dollar (1878-1921) The coin is named after its designer, United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T.

Early in the century, the Indian Head Penny and the Buffalo Nickel bore testament to the struggle for survival endured by the first Americans. Then, the waves of new immigrants were greeted at our shores with coins reflecting the timeless dedication to liberty and freedom in our land. Later coins bear the profiles of five of our most beloved Presidents Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Kennedy. The rare silver nickel and the steel penny were created during World War II to save scarce metals for our defense effort Perhaps the most spectacular coin in our history is the Eisenhower Silver Dollar. Its unusual Eagle/Apollo reverse commemorates our achievements from Kitty Hawk to the Moon landing. The official coinage of the United States of America truly reflects the ideals, symbols, heroes, statesmen and achievements our country holds most dear. Frame measures 22½" x 11½".
