1893 Barber Dime. MS-67 (PCGS).This richly original example exhibits blended steel-blue, pinkish-silver and champagne-gold patina to the obverse. The more reserved, yet equally appealing reverse exhibits iridescent cobalt blue peripheral highlights around an antique silver center. Both sides are fully struck with smooth, frosty mint luster. The 1893 is among the more underrated Philadelphia Mint Barber dimes, especially when compared to the first year 1892. The present example is a conditionally rare Superb Gem that ranks among the finest known to PCGS. A significant find for the better date type collector or advanced Barber dime specialist.
