Scarce Premium Gem 1892-O Barber Dime

1892-O 10C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Duckor. Despite a substantial mintage, most survivors of this New Orleans Mint issue are in lower grades through MS64 at best. Gem or finer examples are seldom encountered. This lovely Premium Gem is from a late state of the dies, especially the obverse, with peripheral die rust and a die crack through Liberty's bust truncation. This is variety number 102 in the David Lawrence reference, with the mintmark repunched. The lower curve of the original mintmark is visible inside the secondary mintmark. In fact, it almost has the appearance of an O punched over a smaller O, perhaps from a punch later used for the 1905 Micro O variety. This is a sharply struck example with full details on both sides. Pristine surfaces have pale gray toning with peripheral iridescence, incorporating attractive orange-gold, pale green and russet shades. Population: 5 in 66, 1 finer (4/09).
