1897-S Barber Dime. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.，The lovely Choice surfaces of this Barber dime are satiny to semi-prooflike with mottled iridescent overtones. This fully struck beauty will nicely represent this scarce and conditionally challenging issue. One of many underrated rarities in the early Barber dime series, the 1897-S is nearly as elusive in Mint State as the lower mintage 1896-S (1,342,844 vs. 575,056 pieces). A highlight among the extensive dime offerings in the Vanderbilt Collection.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of June 1968, lot 57. Lot tag included.，
