Lot Description

1896-S Barber Dime. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. A blend of russet, gold and purple iridescence bathes both the obverse and reverse of this chisel-sharp specimen. The underlying fields and design elements feature delicately muted, satin-like mint luster. In comparing the surviving population of this date at and above the grade level offered here with many of the more "pedestrian" Barber dime issues, there is simply no comparison as to availability. In fact, this issue can easily be placed among the top 15 dates of this series in terms of rarity within the MS-64 or better grade range. PCGS Population: 32; 26 finer (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 4811.
