Appealing 1897-S Ten Cent, MS65

1897-S 10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1897-S Barber dime seems somewhat overshadowed by the popular and in-demand 1896-S, but despite its mintage of 1.3 million pieces, it is a difficult, elusive, and rare issue in Mint State, more so in Gem condition. This example is one of only seven so graded at PCGS, with six finer (1/08). The reverse shows considerable cameo contrast, with pretty pinkish-gold patina. The obverse shows less contrast and less color. An appealing example, despite the light roller marks on the obverse that appear only under a loupe.
