1896-S Barber Dime, MS65
Semikey Issue, Scarce This Nice

1896-S 10C MS65 PCGS. Untoned and frost-white, this Gem S-Mint dime is brightly lustrous and sharply struck. A pair of tiny ticks on the nose and neck and a short reeding mark above E in ONE are the sole marks to report but they are of little concern -- the fields are entirely free of abrasions. Despite a mintage of more than 575,000 pieces, fewer than three dozen pieces at PCGS and NGC combined have attained a finer grade. Population: 15 in 65, 18 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 2.49 grams
ASW: 0.07205oz
