Description

1895 Cameo Barber Dime, PR68
Immaculately Preserved

1895 10C PR68 Cameo NGC. CAC. The 1895 circulation strike dime is a well-known condition rarity with only 690,000 pieces produced. Among Philadelphia issues it ranks first in both overall Mint State rarity and MS65 and finer rarity. This is important since business strikes are so difficult that significant date pressure has traditionally been exerted on the proofs of this date. This is a wondrous proof. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side and set up a "black" background for the frosted whiteness on the devices. The centers are dazzlingly brilliant and surrounded at the margins by golden-rose and blue rings of toning. The surfaces appear perfect, even with magnification. Census: 4 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (3/11).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23G8, PCGS# 84879, Greysheet# 4408)
