Exceptional 1898-O Gem Dime

1898-O 10C MS65 PCGS. This issue is difficult to locate in Mint State despite the 2.130 million-piece mintage. Additionally, it is one of the more poorly struck issues in the Barber dime series. This Gem offering is exceptional for its above-average strike, including LIBERTY and upper right part of the wreath, areas typically weak. Only the lower left set of leaves reveal minor softness. Each side exudes pleasing luster and a delicate blend of apple-green, purple, and gray patina. Faint contacts are noted on the neck and light roller marks on the cheek. Population: 7 in 65, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
