1895-O Barber Dime, MS65
Purchased Directly From the New Orleans Mint
Ex: Clapp-Eliasberg

1895-O 10C MS65 PCGS. This 1895-O dime was sold two lots after Louis Eliasberg's 1894-S dime. Aside from being one of the best-preserved examples of this conditionally challenging New Orleans issue, it enjoys an illustrious pedigree that can be traced directly to its production at the Louisiana branch mint. Splashes of iridescence are intermixed with the dominant golden patina that gently complements the satiny surfaces of this spectacular near-Gem dime. The corn kernels and upper-left wheat stalks are boldly struck. Minor marks are noted on the obverse, as is a clash mark in the field right of the neck. Population: 9 in 65, 4 finer (9/19).
