- Finest Certified 1898-O Barber Dime
1898-O Barber Dime. MS-68 (NGC).
This extraordinary, virtually pristine example is the sole finest 1898-O Barber dime known to the major certification services. Intense satin to softly frosted luster blankets surfaces that are brilliant apart from crescents of iridescent reddish-gold along the right obverse and reverse borders. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and a delight to behold.
Barber dime production at the New Orleans Mint ratcheted up considerably in 1898 with a total of 2,130,000 coins struck. Even so, this is a challenging issue to collect that is quite underrated in Mint State. The 1898-O is actually rarer in high grades than the lower mintage 1897-O, 1903-S, 1904-S, 1913-S and 1915-S. A leading highlight of the Larry H. Miller Barber dime set, this amazing Superb Gem is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced collectors.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
Combined PCGS and NGC Population: 1; 0 finer.
PCGS# 4816. NGC ID: 23E7.
