Description

Surprising 1905 Dime
Struck on a Costa Rica 5 Centavo Planchet, XF40

1905 10C Barber Dime--Struck on a Costa Rica 5 Centavo Planchet--XF40 NGC. 1 gram. Portions of the peripheral legends are off the flan, although more than 80% of the date is intact. The strike is expectedly soft, particularly on the right borders and the E in ONE, since the 1 gram planchet is much thinner than a typical 2.5 gram silver dime. The profile shows slight wear, but the XF40 grade appears conservative. The NGC host designation may be incorrect, since the U.S. Mint struck five centavo pieces for the Philippines in 1905, but would not strike Costa Rica five centavo pieces until 1910.
