1896-S Barber Dime, MS65
Delicate Multicolor Toning

1896-S 10C MS65 PCGS. With a low mintage of little more than 575,000 pieces, the 1896-S dime is a notable semikey date in all grades, but it becomes genuinely rare in Gem and finer condition. This example shows fully struck design elements, with softly frosted, radiant luster that exhibits only a few minute ticks on the obverse. Beautiful multicolor toning blankets both sides in shades of lavender-gray, powder-blue, sun-gold, mint-green, and pale russet, with the brighter colors largely restricted to the margins. Population: 21 in 65, 19 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N2998)
