Description
1915-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS).
This lightly toned premium Gem displays vibrant, shimmering mint frost overall. Liberty's portrait details are well-defined, while the lower wreath exhibits a trace of softness on several of the leaves at 7 o'clock. Even under close scrutiny, there are no reportable marks and the coin is certainly high-end for the assigned grade. Only 13 issues (plus the 1894-S) in the Barber dime series have a mintage below 1 million coins; this is one of them. Only 960,000 pieces were struck, and examples are eagerly sought after, especially as Gems. The issue usually comes sharply struck and lustrous, as is the case with this coin, an immensely appealing representative.
PCGS# 4869. NGC ID: 23FX.
PCGS Population: 12; just 3 are finer (MS-67 finest).
