1897-O Barber Dime. MS-64+ (NGC).
A peripherally toned beauty with reddish-copper and cobalt blue around brilliant centers. This is a smooth and lustrous example with the in hand appearance of a full Gem Mint State grade. The 1897-O is the most readily obtainable of the four key date New Orleans Mint Barber dimes of 1894 to 1897. With just 666,000 coins struck, however, it is scarce in its own right and conditionally rare above the basal Choice Mint State grade level. It is an issue that is always in demand among specialists in both New Orleans Mint and Barber coinage.
