Lot Description

1893-O Barber Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. Charming pearl gray surfaces are lightly and evenly toned over fulsome mint luster. Impressively well struck for a New Orleans Mint Barber dime, and expertly preserved to rank among the finest certified for the issue. After a generous output of 3,841,700 pieces in 1892, the New Orleans Mint produced only 1,760,000 Barber dimes in 1893. Yearly mintages from this coinage facility remained limited through 1897, and all O-Mint dimes of the 1893 to 1897 era are scarce key date issues. PCGS# 4801. NGC ID: 23DR. PCGS Population: 13; 4 finer (MS-68 finest). Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
