Lot Description

1895 Barber Dime. MS-64 (NGC). A few speckles of russet iridescence along the right obverse border are all that keep this satiny and smartly impressed example from complete brilliance. The 1895 is the lowest mintage Philadelphia Mint issue in the Barber dime series, and the only one with a mintage of fewer than 1 million circulation strikes (690,000 pieces). Not surprisingly, this is the rarest Philadelphia Mint issue of the type in all Mint State grades. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 27; 14 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 4806. NGC ID: 23DV. Click here for certification details from NGC.
