Lot Description

A lustrous Gem with rich electric blue and wild rose iridescence on both sides. Sharply struck and thoroughly appealing. 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 an advanced Barber dime set.
