1898-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS).

1898-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). Lightly toned in iridescent silver-apricot, this lovely premium Gem Mint State dime also offers razor sharp strike detail and lovely mint luster. The 1898-S was widely exported (see below), with Uncirculated survivors far scarcer than the mintage of 1,702,507 pieces might imply. Discounting only the famous 1894-S, this is actually the rarest San Francisco Mint Barber dime in terms of total number of Mint State coins believed extant; in the finest grades only the 1895-S and 1907-S are more challenging to collect. One of numerous highlights of the Barber dime offerings in this sale. Elusive within the United States even in their own day, the federal government shipped many or most 1898-S dimes to the Philippine Islands after the Spanish-American War ended in the summer of that year. PCGS Population: 17; 7 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 4817. NGC ID: 23E8. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
