Description
1899-O Dime, Bright, Toned MS66
Usually Unavailable in This Grade
1899-O 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The mint luster is uncommonly
bright for a New Orleans product and shows a borderline frosted
texture. This brightness greatly enhances the rich color seen over
each side. Rose and sea-green toning is interspersed throughout.
The strike definition is complete except on the lower-right wreath,
an area that shows roller marks, indicative of localized
weakness.Population Data (7/14): The 1899-O dime has the largest mintage of all New Orleans dimes from the 1890s, at 2.6 million pieces produced. However, few were set aside at the time of issue. PCGS reports only seven MS66 with two finer. NGC reports two MS66 and two finer.
Heritage Commentary: The 1899-O is available in circulated grades, and even lower grades of Mint State. But the majority of known examples display more subdued, satiny luster than seen on this piece.
