Description du lot

1905 Barber Dime. Proof-67+ Cameo (NGC). This Condition Census Superb Gem is fully untoned to allow ready appreciation of awesome field to device contrast. Sharply defined throughout with expert surface preservation that approaches perfection. 727 Proof dimes were struck in 1905 and about 675 survive to this day. However, the vast majority of these have been impaired by minor marks, well-intentioned polishing, or even circulation in the past century. This issue becomes considerably scarce at the Gem level, with only about 250 known. Most of these are in grades of Proof-65 or Proof-66, with just a handful at the Proof-67 level for advanced specialists. Even fewer at this level demonstrate the strong field-to-device contrast evident here, making this beautiful Proof-67+ Cameo among the most desirable known. NGC Census: 1; 2 finer in this category (Proof-68+ Cameo finest). The corresponding PCGS Population is similar at 1/1 (Proof-68 + Cameo also finest). PCGS# 84889. NGC ID: 23GJ.
