This frosty and lustrous Gem branch mint Barber dime is brilliant at the obverse center with deep crimson and blue toning at the periphery. The reverse is more brilliant overall with just a hint of toning near the rim. The strike is as bold as ever seen for the type with all of Barbers tiny details present and accounted for. Readily available in most grades, the 1897-S becomes highly elusive in Gem grades, and especially above MS-65. Whether you are a novice to the series or an old hand, this specimen has something to offer everyone.,PCGS# 4814.,,
