1893-S Barber Dime. MS-65 (PCGS).，A heavily circulated issue from the second year of the Barber Dime series, the 1893-S (2,491,401 coins struck) is actually much rarer in Mint State than the low-mintage 1913-S and 1915-S. Conditionally rare at the Gem grade level, this piece is originally toned with blended antique gold and copper-russet patina to the obverse. For the reverse we note a much lighter surface adorned with speckles of olive-russet iridescence. Lustrous, satiny and highly appealing.，PCGS# 4802. NGC ID: 23DS.，PCGS Population: 17; 10 finer (MS-67 finest).，From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
