Elusive 1896-O Barber Dime, MS66

1896-O 10C MS66 PCGS. The 1896-O is the third of four early O-mint issues in the series, from 1894-O to 1897-O--each with a mintage under 1 million coins--that are among the most difficult to find in Mint State grades. The 1896-O is also an underrated issue compared to the key-date 1895-O. This piece is well-struck on both sides, save for minor softness on the 6 in the date. Silver-gold patina graces the obverse and much of the reverse, where a small area of aqua and cinnamon joins the fray. At the Premium Gem level, this coin is one of only handful so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer. Population: 7 in 66, 0 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N4719)
