Description du lot

1896-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). This highly lustrous Gem Mint State example offers razor sharp to full striking detail. Otherwise brilliant, the lightest iridescent gold toning is reserved for the obverse. With just 575,056 pieces produced, the 1896-S has the lowest mintage among San Francisco Mint dimes of this type after only the 1913-S. This date and mint was saved in far fewer numbers, however, and it is rarer in Mint State than the 1913-S and more akin to the 1893-S, 1902-S and 1903-S in the finest grades. A significant piece that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. Only 3 coins have been graded finer by PCGS. PCGS Population: 8; 3 finer. PCGS# 4811. NGC ID: 23E2.
