1909 10C MS66 认证号18319565, PCGS号4850

Mintage: 10,240,000; Weight: 2.5 grams; Composition: .900 silver, .100 copper; Diameter: 17.9 mm; Reeded Edge; Designer: Charles E. Barber ===== Purchased from private party – August 2009. The 1909 Barber Dime is considered a common-date in the series with a mintage just over ten million. Despite that, the coin is far from common in MS66 or better condition. The present example is booming with luster is well struck. The coin has some faint dirty toning on the obverse that sort of gives the coin a little character but is not overly distracting in hand. The reverse of the coin is essential perfect.

The 1909 Dime has a fairly hefty mintage of over 10 million coins.  Thus, it is easy and inexpensive to obtain in most grades.  Mint State examples are very plentiful, with hundreds of examples available in a range of grades from MS62 to MS65.  The PCGS CoinFacts Conditin Census starts with MS66 examples and tops out at MS67.  The three MS67's illustrated above present in different ways; each has color in varying formats.  The price record for this date is held by a PCGS MS66 (interestingly, two of the PCGS MS67's sold subsequently for a price no more than a third of the record).
