Lot Description

1899-O Barber Dime. MS-65 (NGC). Dusted with iridescent pinkish-silver toning, both sides also have razor sharp to full striking detail and soft, satiny mint luster. Although produced to the extent of 2,650,000 pieces -- a respectable total for a New Orleans Mint Barber dime -- the 1899-O suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation and is rare in all Mint State grades. We anticipate strong competition for this very well preserved Gem among specialists. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 8; 4 finer (MS-67 * finest). PCGS# 4819. NGC ID: 23EA. Click here for certification details from NGC.
