Description du lot

1909-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). Boldly toned in multicolored patina, the most vivid colors are appreciable with the aid of a strong light. Virtually pristine with a full strike and bountiful satin luster. Among the scarcer 20th century Barber dimes in Mint State, the 1909-S has a low mintage of just one million pieces, and attrition through circulation is high for the era. In terms of total number of Uncirculated survivors believed extant, the 1909-S is rarer even than the highly regarded 1895-S, 1897-O and 1909-D, as well as the lower mintage 1904-S, 1913-S and 1915-S. Near the pinnacle of the PCGS Population Reportt for the issue, this impressive condition rarity should attract attention when it crosses the auction block. PCGS# 4853. NGC ID: 23FE. PCGS Population: 6; 3 finer (all MS-67). Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Long Beach Signature Sale of May 2009, lot 517; Heritage's sale of the Lily Nicole Collection, April 2015, lot 3959.
