Lot Description

Gem 1895-O Dime The Rarest Barber Issue in Mint State 1895-O Barber Dime. MS-65 (NGC). An outstanding Gem Mint State example of this legendary condition rarity in the Barber dime series. Bright silver white surfaces are free of even the lightest toning. Virtually full in strike, and significantly so for the issuing mint, both sides also possess full mint luster in a billowy satin texture. Silky smooth in appearance with eye appeal to spare, this coin would do justice to the finest collection of Barber coinage. The low mintage, 440,000-piece 1895-O is the rarest issue of this type in terms of total number of Mint State examples known. With even BU and Choice survivors elusive in today's market, we can hardly overstate the fleeting bidding opportunity that this NGC MS-65 represents for the advanced specialist. NGC Census: 6; with a single MS-66 finer. PCGS# 4807. NGC ID: 23DW. Click here for certification details from NGC.
