Description
1903 Dime, Marvelous MS66
Three Finer at Both Services
1903 10C MS66 NGC. CAC. Swirling, frosty luster blends with
gold and lavender patina over well-preserved surfaces with a few
minuscule ticks. The wheat sheaves and right ear of corn show
pinpoint definition, while a trace of softness occurs over
Liberty's headband and the denomination. This is a marvelous
Premium Gem, technically and visually.Population Data (9/15): NGC lists nine in MS66 with a single MS67 finer. There are 12 and two finer submissions in comparable grades at PCGS.
Heritage Commentary: The 1903 is slightly more elusive in high grades than later Philadelphia Barber dime issues, but it remains a relatively accessible date. With only three examples graded finer at both services, this Premium Gem would be exceedingly difficult to upgrade.
