The shared Liberty portrait connects the three denominations as a collecting family. The denomination and condition offered here identify the lot; the series name is not a promise of a rare date or mint mark.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Barber name identify a special mint?
No. It refers to designer Charles E. Barber. The mint mark and date identify the particular issue, and a mixed offering does not guarantee a scarce combination.
Does $1 FV mean one coin or one ounce?
FV means combined face value. A $1 FV lot represents one dollar in the stated coin denominations, not one troy ounce and not necessarily one coin. Silver content depends on the coin type and wear.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
