Exceedingly Rare Superb Gem 1899-O Dime
1899-O Barber Dime. MS-67 (PCGS).
Enchanting surfaces exhibit a lovely blend of full, frosty mint luster and delicate, iridescent champagne-pink toning. Striking detail is bold to sharp throughout, and the appearance is temptingly close to pristine. 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 exceptionally well preserved Superb Gem among specialists. It is one of the very finest known and worthy of a significant premium.
