Description du lot

Soft frosty luster blends with warm dove-gray patina, both sides further enhanced by intermingled highlights of iridescent powder blue and golden-apricot. Silky smooth in texture, this sharply defined and expertly preserved coin makes an impressive appearance in all regards. After a generous output of 3,841,700 pieces in 1892, the New Orleans Mint produced only 1,760,000 Barber dimes in 1893. Yearly mintages from this coinage facility remained limited through 1897, and all O-Mint dimes of the 1893 to 1897 era are scarce key date issues that are rare in the finest Mint State grades.
