1896-O Dime, Lustrous MS66
Challenging in High Mint State Grades

1896-O 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1896-O was produced to the extent of just 610,000 pieces, and virtually all entered circulation and remained there until worn out or lost. Like many other O-mint Barber dimes from the 1890s, the issue is scarce in Mint State, and rare as a Premium Gem. This example is housed in an light-blue label PCGS holder with CAC endorsement. It is a Condition Census candidate that is lustrous and attractive, with frosted fields and a dusting of soft golden iridescence. The virtually pristine features are sharply impressed. PCGS has failed to certify a numerically finer example in the past 20 years. Population: 8 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 1 finer (2/21).
