1908-D Barber Dime, Lovely Toned MS67
FS-303 Repunched Date Variety

1908-D 10C MS67 NGC. FS-303. Remnants of underdigits show beneath the 90 in the date, one of seven Repunched Date varieties for the 1908-D issue in the Cherrypickers' Guide. The stunning surfaces of this Superb Gem show sunset-orange, amber-gold, and sky-blue fields contrasting against the grayish central areas and devices. The strike is sharp throughout.

Variety: Lawrence-104, FS-303 (formerly FS-010.2). Certified by NGC as "1908 90/08 D / FS-010.2," the earlier Cherrypickers' variety number for the FS-303.

Population Data (7/14): For the 1908-D issue, this piece is one of four MS67 at NGC; PCGS has seen six MS67 and one MS67+. There are no relevant variety data.

Heritage Commentary: These Repunched Date Barber dime varieties may be unfamiliar to many collectors but they can provide a treasure trove for diligent searchers. There are probably more Cherrypickers'-listed varieties known for the 1908-D than for any other Barber dime issue -- FS-301 through FS-307, seven different variants of the Repunched Date.
