Barber Dimes
1893-S 10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. The 1893-S Barber dime is not unusually scarce in most grades compared to the bulk of the series, although the number of coins known in the top MS67 grade is exactly two. Both coins are in PCGS holders and have a CAC endorsement. The finest examples at NGC grade just MS65 (6/17). We have previously handled the other PCGS Superb Gem on two occasions, in 2007 and 2009, where it realized $63,250 and $51,750, respectively. Neither that coin nor this one have appeared at public auction since. This is the PCGS CoinFacts plate coin, and it is a full grade point finer than the piece from the Simpson Collection, which is the all-time finest PCGS Basic Registry Set of Barber dimes. Even the coin from the Duckor Collection Registry Set (5th all-time finest) was an MS66.
This piece shows frosty, glistening mint luster and sharp relief detail. Lovely gold, lavender, olive, and aquamarine hues paint each side, attesting to the originality of the surfaces.
