1897-S Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS).，Splashed with bold and vivid toning, this delightful Gem is a sharply struck and uncommonly well preserved survivor from a mintage of 1,342,844 pieces. One of many underrated condition rarities in the early Barber dime series, the 1897-S is nearly as elusive in Mint State as the lower mintage 1896-S. In Gem Uncirculated and higher grades, in fact, the 1897-S is the ninth rarest of 74 circulation strikes in this series. This highlight among the extensive Barber dime offerings in this sale would serve as a focal point in any specialized cabinet.，PCGS# 4814.，PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer (MS-67 finest).，From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
