Lot Description

1909-S Barber Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. Iridescent reddish-apricot toning is seen at the right borders of both sides of this otherwise golden-tinged example. Fully lustrous with a smooth and attractive appearance. 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. This Gem MS-65 coin is finer than most and will fit right into another advanced Barber dime set. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 9 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 4853. NGC ID: 23FE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
