- Captivating Superb Cameo Proof 1898 Barber Dime
1898 Barber Dime. Proof-67+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
An exceptionally well preserved specimen, this gorgeous Superb Gem would do equally well in a high quality Proof type or date set. Both sides are beautifully toned, as well, with swirls of cobalt blue, reddish-rose and pinkish-silver competing for dominance. Bold field to device contrast is readily evident at all viewing angles. The strike is full, as befits the method of manufacture, and the surfaces are so smooth as to border on pristine.
Ranking behind only the 1892, 1894 and 1895, the 1898 is one of the most readily obtainable issues in the Proof Barber dime series. When we consider that the typical survivor of this 735-coin issue possesses strong cameo contrast to the finish, as here, the popularity of the 1898 for Proof type purposes is easy to understand. Among the finest certified in today's market, this impressive condition rarity is sure to catch the eye of discerning bidders.
Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier ex Heritage's CSNS Signature Auction of April 2011, lot 3345; Denali Collection.
PCGS Population: 4; 5 finer in this category (Proof-68+ Cameo finest).
