Lot Description

1899-O Barber Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). This is a boldly struck, highly lustrous example bathed in bold, vivid and varied toning. Although produced to the extent of 2,650,000 pieces -- a respectable total for a New Orleans Mint Barber dime -- the 1899-O suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation and is rare in all Mint State grades. We anticipate strong competition for this uncommonly well preserved Gem among specialists. PCGS# 4819. NGC ID: 23EA. PCGS Population: 6; 22 finer (MS-67 finest). An unusual number of grading events at the MS-66 level suggests multiple resubmissions. Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
