1893/2 Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.

1893/2 Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. A popular if enigmatic variety, the status of the circulation strike 1893/2 Barber dime as a true overdate has been called into question in recent years. According to John W. Dannreuther, who conducted extensive research on Proofs of this variety, the so-called 1893/2 overdate is actually an 1893/3 repunched date. This conclusion has not yet extended to the associated circulation strike, however, and PCGS continues to attribute it as an overdate. On the other hand, NGC no longer recognizes this variety as an overdate, and both the Proof and circulation strike 1893/2 have been delisted from the firm's Census. Regardless, the 1893/2 continues to fascinate Barber dime enthusiasts and variety specialists. The present upper end Gem exhibits superior technical quality and beautiful peripheral toning that confirm it as one of the finest certified and most visually impressive examples available to today's advanced numismatists. PCGS Population: 6; with a single MS-66+ finer. PCGS# 4799. NGC ID: 23DN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
