- 1898-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (NGC).
Lightly toned in iridescent champagne-apricot, this lovely premium Gem Mint State dime also offers razor sharp striking detail and lovely mint luster. The 1898-S was widely exported (see below), with Uncirculated survivors far scarcer than the mintage of 1,702,507 pieces might imply. Discounting only the famous 1894-S, this is actually the rarest San Francisco Mint Barber dime in terms of total number of Mint State coins believed extant; in the finest grades only the 1895-S and 1907-S are more challenging to collect. One of numerous highlights of the Barber dime offerings from the Larry H. Miller cabinet.
Elusive within the United States even in their own day, the federal government shipped many or most 1898-S dimes to the Philippine Islands after the Spanish-American War ended in the summer of that year.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
NGC Census: 3; 0 finer at this service.
PCGS# 4817. NGC ID: 23E8.
