1896-O Dime, Lustrous MS66
Difficult in Mint Condition

1896-O 10C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Lily Nicole Collection. The 1896-O, from a mintage of a little more than 600,000 pieces, is one of the scarcer coins in the Barber dime series in Mint condition. The issue is especially rare in Gem and finer grades, for which PCGS and NGC report a combined 25 examples.

The obverse of this Premium Gem offering displays freckles of golden-brown around the periphery while the reverse takes on deeper shades of this color palette, especially in the center where it is joined by a splash of electric-blue and lavender. Lustrous surfaces exhibit well-defined design elements. A few trivial reverse marks do not distract. Population: 6 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (2/15).
From the Current #1 PCGS Registry Set of Barber Dimes, Circulation Strikes.
From The Lily Nicole Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
