1897 Barber Dime. Proof-67 (PCGS). CAC.A richly original specimen, both sides are toned in dominant olive-charcoal and antique copper patina with iridescent undertones evident as the coin dips into a light. Direct viewing angles also allow ready appreciation of mirrored reflectivity in the fields, the design elements fully struck and frosty. The 1897 (731 coins produced) is one of the scarcest Proof Barber dimes from the 1890s. The coin offered here makes a lovely impression in all regards and represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute collector.
