November 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1915 Barber Dime. MS-67 (PCGS). Outstanding Condition Census quality for this often overlooked Barber dime issue. Frosty textured surfaces exhibit mottled copper-russet peripheral toning around antique silver centers. Fully struck and exceptionally smooth. Although widely regarded as one of the most common issues in the circulation strike Barber dime series, the 1915 is actually scarcer than many numismatists realize. A mintage of 5,620,000 coins represents a significant reduction from the totals that the Philadelphia Mint achieved for this type every year from 1897 through 1914. The result is that the 1915 is offered in Mint State much less frequently than such other Philadelphia Mint issues in this series as the 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, as well as the final year 1916. It is also rarer than the 1914-D in terms of total number of Mint State coins extant. In high grades (read: MS-65 and finer), the 1915 is similar in rarity to the 1901, 1906-O, 1909 and 1916-S, and it is more challenging to locate in Gem Uncirculated condition than the 1893, 1897, 1898, 1911-D and 1911-S, among other issues. A find for the astute Barber dime enthusiast. PCGS Population: just 5; 0 finer. PCGS# 4868. NGC ID: 23FW. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
