1899-O Barber Dime NGC MS67 Star

Sirhc

A Star is Born

The 1899-O Barber dime is neither one of the numerous low-mintage series issues produced to the extent of fewer than 1 million pieces, nor is it anyone’s idea of a key issue within the series for other reasons, given its typical O-mint production of 2.65 million coins. It is however, a conditional and strike rarity. By the time of its production in 1899, the series’ novelty — and fleeting it was — had completely worn off, and few collectors of the era set aside examples of any circulation strikes, regardless of mintmark or lack thereof. Angle your neck either far left or far right for a better view! Each side of this coin shows considerable cameo contrast. In researching it, we discovered that we had auctioned t in our April 2012, Central States sale, lot 5067.

Sirhc

The Only One

From a mintage of 27,200 coins, this is the sole example to be graded this high by PCGS and one of just twenty-one pieces for the entire Liberty Quarter Eagle series. The strike is sharp, the color is attractive and the surfaces exhibit exemplary mint frost.

1899 Barber Half Dollar PCGS MS67

Sirhc

Pop 2, 1 Higher

While the 1899 Barber half dollar is more plentiful than the 1896 and 1898 issues, it is a condition rarity in Gem or finer grades. A lack of interest in business strike Philadelphia Mint issues at the time of issue is largely responsible for the low high-grade survival rate. Prior to the 1980s, most collectors sought out proof coins for the sole reason that they were considered more desirable from an aesthetics viewpoint. The PCGS population is just 2 with a single (MS67+) example graded higher.
