Description du lot

1902-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely golden-apricot iridescence drifts over smooth satin surfaces, razor sharp striking detail also worthy of praise. A relatively generous mintage of 2,070,000 pieces conceals the rarity of the 1902-S in high grades. This is the fourth rarest San Francisco Mint Barber dime in Mint State (per Jeff Ambio, 2009), and it handily outdistances the lower mintage 1904-S, 1909-S, 1913-S and 1915-S, as well as the 1895, 1896, 1897-O, 1907-D and 1909-D among issues from other coinage facilities. PCGS# 4829. NGC ID: 23EL. PCGS Population: 10; 1 finer (MS-67+). Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
