Lot Description

1902-O Barber Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). Pretty silver-rose patina adorns both sides of this fully lustrous and frosty Barber dime. Sharply struck and nicely preserved. Despite a substantial mintage of 4,500,000 pieces, the 1902-O numbers among the key date Barber dime issues in Gem Mint State. It compares favorably with the more highly regarded 1895-O in the finest grades, in fact, and is surely one of the more underrated condition rarities of the type. In fact, your cataloger (JLA) rates the 1902-O as the rarest 20th century New Orleans Mint Barber dime in Mint State. As with so many offerings from the fabulous Larry H. Miller cabinet, this handsome Gem represents a great bidding opportunity for the astute collector. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 12; 2 finer (MS-66+ finest).
