Lot Description

1897-O Barber Dime. MS-66 (NGC). This boldly struck example exhibits subtle silver and gold highlights to full, billowy, satin-textured luster. The 1897-O is the most readily obtainable of the four key date New Orleans Mint Barber dimes of 1894 to 1897. With just 666,000 coins struck, this issue is scarce in its own right and conditionally rare above the Choice Uncirculated grade level. It is an issue that is always in demand among specialists in both New Orleans Mint and Barber coinage. PCGS# 4813. NGC Census: 4; 3 finer (MS-67 * finest). Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
