1899 Barber Dime. MS-67 (PCGS).

1899 Barber Dime. MS-67 (PCGS). A very nice Superb Gem example with appealing mint frost and smooth, minimally toned surfaces. Sharply struck. Charles E. Barber's functional if rather artistically uninspiring design for the dime continued Longacre's cereal wreath reverse while incorporating a new somewhat low relief obverse. Barber had a fundamental understanding of the technical requirements needed for mass production, and the design allowed the Philadelphia Mint to strike 19,580,000 circulation strike dimes in 1899 alone. Thanks in part to the generous mintage, the 1899 is readily available, though like many Barber dimes, they seem to be either in very low circulated grades or in Uncirculated, with comparatively few in the middle. In Mint State, this issue is usually found between MS-62 and MS-64; above that the 1899 dime becomes quite scarce. Above the Gem MS-65 level it is a very thin population indeed. PCGS Population: 4; 3 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 4818. NGC ID: 23E9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
