Proof Barber Dimes
1895 10C PR68 NGC. Ex: Childs/Hugon. Only 880 proofs were struck of the 1895 Dime. This, coupled with the low business strike output of only 690,000 pieces, makes the 1895 Dime a valued coin in both proof and business-strike format. This is an exceptionally attractive and vibrant example that would be almost impossible to equal in eye appeal. The obverse displays a breathtaking array of electric-blue and crimson toning in a rather mottled fashion, and the reverse is essentially untoned with only a slightly milky hue as the coin is turned under a light. As expected of the PR68 grade, there are no visible marks or other detractions. A truly outstanding, high grade 1895 superb proof Dime. Census: 10 in 68 (2 in 68+, 1 in 68★), 0 finer (6/17).
Ex: Believed to have been purchased from the Mint by Walter H. Childs; Childs Collection (Bowers and Merena, 8/99), lot 214; Charles Hugon; Hugon Collection (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 4079.
