Description
1893/2 Barber Dime, PR64
Colorful and Collectible
1893/2 10C PR64 NGC. The 1893/2 Barber dime is a coin that
many collectors still pursue (and one that continues its Red Book
listing), although the opinion of some numismatists has shifted
away from the belief that it is a proof overdate (and also known in
business strike format). Apparently NGC has switched positions and
no longer recognizes the proofs. Regardless, this near-Gem is a
beautiful and indubitable proof, and there is certainly something
beneath the 3 that appears to be a 2. PCGS recognizes the business
strike variety as PCGS #4799, although that shows a
horizontal line though the 2, while the proof, as here,
shows a diagonal artifact. The fields are deeply mirrored,
complemented by a moderate coating of gray-rose and cobalt-blue
iridescence lending a fully original appearance overall. All
details are sharp and square as expected on a proof example. A
fleeting opportunity for the Barber dime specialist.From The Greensboro Collection, Part III.
