1893-O Barber Dime, Impeccable MS67
Satiny, Untoned Surfaces

1893-O 10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Finely lustrous, satiny, untoned surfaces are the calling card of this Superb Gem, one of the finest survivors from this early New Orleans Mint Barber dime issue. This is quite a well-struck and well-preserved coin, as well, showing good detailing on the cap and laurel wreath of Liberty and the cereal wreath on the reverse.

Population Data (7/14): This MS67 is one of only two submissions at PCGS although there is, remarkably, one MS68 finer. NGC reports three MS67 and none finer.

Heritage Commentary: The mintmarked Barber dimes of 1892 and 1893 -- 1892-O, 1892-S, 1893-O, and 1893-S -- are all conditional rarities at the Superb Gem level, and even in lower Mint State grades they are considered the first semikeys in the popular Barber dime series. This is a remarkable 1893-O, although it shows less toning than most of the coins in the Gardner Collection.

Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (8/2005).(Registry values: N4719)
