Finest Certified Proof 1895 Barber Dime

1895 10C PR67 PCGS. The year 1895 is magical for Proof coins on the influence of the proof-only 1895 silver dollar. In the case of this Barber dime issue, it is also a scarce, low-mintage issue in business strike format with only 690,000 such coins minted, and most well-circulated. Just 880 Proofs were coined, with most survivors in lower Proof quality. This Superb Gem Proof has excellent cameo contrast although it is not designated as a Cameo Proof. The centers on each side are mostly brilliant with gorgeous rose, lilac, and blue around the entire circumference on the obverse, and in a crescent around part of the reverse. This is one of the finest surviving Proofs and is tied for finest certified by PCGS. Population: 15 in 67, 0 finer (9/04).(#4879) (Registry values: N2998)
