1899 Barber Dime, MS68
Impressive Toning, Sole Finest Graded

1899 10C MS68 NGC. As the sole 1899 Barber dime certified by either service as MS68, this remarkable Superb Gem is the finest-known example from more than 19.5 million dimes struck by the Philadelphia Mint during the year. Both sides display amazing toning and mint luster that permeates the thickly frosted surfaces, with each side equally impressive. Central gold toning yields to vivid cobalt-blue and violet shades near the borders. The strike is pinpoint-sharp for the issue, with eye appeal that exceeds even the coin's considerable technical merit. For Registry Set purposes or for the most advanced collection, this exquisite dime is unsurpassed. Census: 1 in 68, 0 finer (8/15).(Registry values: N4719)
