Description
1895-O Barber Dime, MS66
Cornerstone Date in the Series
Merely One Coin Finer
1895-O 10C MS66 PCGS. This is, without a doubt, the key to
the collectible series of Barber dimes, ranking second only to the
extremely rare and virtually unobtainable 1894-S issue. The
440,000-coin mintage is the lowest in the series. In his recent
Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins (2015), Bowers estimates
that 1,000 to 1,200 examples survive in circulated grades, plus 15
to 18 pieces in MS65 and higher (no estimate is given for MS60 to
MS64). Premium Gems are extremely rare, with two submissions at
PCGS and one other at NGC. A single MS67 dime is reported at PCGS
(4/17).This example is radiantly lustrous with satiny surfaces. The obverse features mostly rich orange and russet patina, while the reverse is predominantly blue-green in tone. Both sides are fully struck, an unusual occurrence among O-mint dimes from this era, though not all that surprising for this well-made issue.(Registry values: N7079)
