1896-O Barber Dime, MS67
Tied for Finest Certified

1896-O 10C MS67 NGC. CAC. This delightful Superb Gem is highly lustrous with modest brightness in the fields and lovely shades of cobalt-blue and russet-red patina that are strong near the peripheries and somewhat noticeable in the fields. The virtually pristine features are sharply impressed with no bothersome abrasions to report.

Population Data (7/14): NGC has certified two MS67 with none finer, of which this piece is the sole MS67 with CAC green approval sticker. PCGS shows none finer than MS66.

Heritage Commentary: The 1896-O issue was produced to the extent of just 610,000 pieces. Virtually all of them entered circulation and remained there until worn out or lost. Like many other O-mint Barber dimes from the 1890s, this issue is scarce in Mint State and rare as a Gem. Tied for finest certified with one other coin at NGC, this delightful specimen should find a home in the finest collection or Registry Set.
