Amazing 1896-S Barber Dime
MS66 Prooflike

1896-S 10C MS66 Prooflike NGC. One of the most difficult S-mint Barber dimes, with a small number of Mint State survivors, and only two pieces currently certified as MS66 Prooflike by NGC, with none finer (2/09). Fully struck with lovely, variegated coloration in shades of pastel lilac, green, sky-blue, and gold; with some darker golden-brown toning near the reverse periphery. Well preserved and free of even the smallest distraction. Simply one of the finest-known survivors of this conditionally scarce San Francisco Mint issue.
