1899-O Dime, MS67
Premier Condition Rarity

1899-O 10C MS67★ NGC. The 1899-O Barber dime is neither one of the numerous low-mintage series issues produced to the extent of fewer than 1 million pieces, nor is it anyone's idea of a key issue within the series for other reasons, given its typical O-mint production of 2.65 million coins. It is however, a conditional and strike rarity. By the time of its production in 1899, the series' novelty -- and fleeting it was -- had completely worn off, and few collectors of the era set aside examples of any circulation strikes, regardless of mintmark or lack thereof. This piece is one of two Superb Gem examples at NGC but the only one garnering the Star bonus. Each side shows considerable cameo contrast over surfaces that are essentially free of post-strike contact.
