Description du lot

1907-D Barber Dime. MS-67 (NGC). The loveliest iridescent toning in reddish-apricot, pinkish-silver and powder blue adorns both sides of this smooth and intensely lustrous Superb Gem. Sharply struck, as well, and simply a delight to behold. With the inaugural 1906-D issue satisfying much of the public's fascination with the new Denver Mint coinage, the 1907-D dime mintage was largely released into circulation at the time of delivery. This issue is rarer in all Mint State grades than the 1906-D, as a result, and is particularly elusive in grades above MS-64. At the threshold of numismatic perfection, this gorgeous Superb Gem ranks high in the Condition Census. In fact, we are aware of only two other 1907-D dimes that have been graded higher by the major certification services, an NGC MS-68 offered as lot 437 in our (Bowers and Merena's) February 2008 Baltimore Auction, and the Simpson specimen in PCGS MS-67+. Clearly, the present example will be a focal point in the finest Barber dime set, as it was in the Larry H. Miller cabinet that we sold in December of last year. Provenance: From our sale of the Larry H. Miller Collection, December 2020 Auction, lot 1265. NGC Census: 1; 2 finer (both MS-68). PCGS# 4843. NGC ID: 23F4.
