Lot Description

Condition rarity Select Mint State preservation for this key date Barber dime issue that represents a significant find even in the finer circulated grades. Both sides are softly frosted in finish, predominantly brilliant, but with hints of delicate champagne-gold iridescence at the borders. Well struck, the detail is bold to sharp in virtually all areas. Light clash marks (as made) are noted on both sides, most interestingly on the obverse at Liberty's chin.<p>With a mintage of 440,000 pieces, the 1895-O is the rarest Barber dime in terms of total number of Mint State coins believed extant. We suspect that no more than 50 or so Uncirculated coins are in numismatic hands, with the certified population fairly evenly distributed throughout the MS-60 to MS-65 grade range. That offered here represents a significant find for the advanced collector of Barber silver and/or New Orleans Mint coinage.
