Description

Conditionally Scarce 1896-S Barber Dime, MS64

1896-S 10C MS64 NGC. A scarce and conditionally challenging issue in the Barber dime series. The mintage was 575,056 pieces, but those coins were heavily circulated and survivors are relatively few at all levels of preservation. This is a visually tantalizing near-Gem that displays splendid, coruscating luster and lovely multicolored toning across the obverse and near the reverse periphery. Well struck and nicely preserved, with a couple of faint marks near Liberty's jawline that prevent a Gem assessment. Census: 15 in 64, 14 finer (6/08). (Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23E2, PCGS# 4811, GSID# 4356)

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
