1905-O Barber Dime. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.,Soft mauve-gray and olive-gold patina blends with smooth satin luster on both sides of this beautiful example. With a mintage of 3.4 million pieces and an above average rate of survival in Mint State, the 1905-O is among the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint Barber dimes in high grades. Even so, Uncirculated survivors are rarer than those of the 1892-O, 1906-O and 1907-O. In Gem Mint State, as here, the 1905-O is also more challenging to locate than the 1908-O. Few even approach the technical quality and eye appeal of this outstanding premium Gem, and we expect strong competition among specialists when this lot opens for bidding.,PCGS# 4836. NGC ID: 23EU.,PCGS Population: 19; 6 finer (MS-67+ finest).,From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
