Description
Extremely Rare 1895 Dime, MS67
1895 10C MS67 NGC. CAC. In the late 1800s numismatists specialized in older issues, world and ancient coins, and tokens and medals, especially those related to Washington. Modern issues were uninteresting and seldom collected at the time, except for the annual acquisition of proofs to keep one's cabinet up to date. There was certainly no interest in collecting modern circulation strikes, which is why the very existence of this piece in virtually unimprovable condition surprises and delights collectors today. The brilliant, snow-white surfaces of this Superb Gem dime display amazingly bright, coruscating luster. With a combination of exemplary visual appeal and the challenges posed by the semikey issue (mintage of 690,000 pieces), this crisply struck dime rates as one of the most desirable pieces a date collector could acquire. Census: 2 in 67, 1 finer (2/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
