Barber Dimes
1897-O 10C MS65 NGC. This is one in a series of challenging New Orleans issues beginning with the 1894-O. Although more available than its predecessors, the 1897-O is an elusive issue in its own right. Comparable Gems are rare, and anything finer very rarely appears on the market. The mostly brilliant central obverse is tinged with golden-russet patina. Deep cobalt-blue and magenta hues adorn the margins. The reverse is deeply and uniformly toned in similar colors, save of a window of brilliance near the I in DIME. Fully struck. Census: 10 in 65 (1 in 65+), 7 finer (10/16).
