Description
1908-O Dime, Violet Toned MS67
Among the Finest Certified.
1908-O 10C MS67 NGC. CAC. The 1908-O Barber dime can be
located through near-Gem with a little bit of patience. However,
MS65 and finer examples are rare. And in the lofty grade of MS67,
NGC and PCGS combined have seen fewer than 10 specimens and none
finer. Yellow-gold patina dominates the obverse, with just a touch
of violet in the center. The reverse displays the same coloration,
but the violet center is much more extensive and confines
yellow-gold patina to the margin. The design elements are well
impressed, a typical attribute of the issue. Vibrant luster
emanating from the impeccably preserved surfaces further enhances
the pleasing eye appeal, aptly recognized by CAC. Census: 4 in 67,
0 finer (10/13).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N4719)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
