PCGS 36911463 |
Choice | $900 |
Near-Gem Original, Cameo Proof Strike.. Frosty devices rise above the mirrored fields, revealing a “black and white” Cameo effect as the piece is tilted under a light. A sharp strike imparts strongly impressed design elements, and the bow knot is completely split. A few wispy lines, detectable with a glass, are present in the right, obverse field. Proof Barber dimes form a 24-coin series, dated from 1892-1915, and the low CAC populations dictate that full sets remain remarkably elusive. Still, many of these pieces are available at price points under $1,000. CAC has approved 32 pieces in all grades, five examples in PR64 Cameo, and 23 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $842. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #84880 | |

MS64 | PCGS 15997219 |
Choice | $2600 | Rich Mint Bloom, Peripheral Gold, Near-Gem Original, New Orleans Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Demand for Mint State Barber dimes continues to be strong as witness by recent price increases within the PCGS Price Guide. Case in point is this attractively frosted 1897-O lot recently released from the New Orleans Collection. With a mintage of only 666,000, the date is limited to 26 example certified at the offered grade. Undisturbed mint bloom covers both sides with a hint of peripheral gold. Barber dimes are known for being well struck with this lot being deeply impressed at the New Orleans mint. A worthy example for those that enjoy heavily frosted silver pieces.

10C | 1901-O O/Horiz O |
EF40 | PCGS 30878761 |
Choice | $385 | O/Horizontal O, Natural Coin Gray Patina, A Cool Die Variety. The 1891-O F-109 O Over Horizontal dime die variety is not a unique mintmark punching error as the same situation is found in the Barber dime series. This newly acquired 1901-O O Over Horizontal O example shares the same diagnostics as its predecessor. The remnants of a horizontal O are seen within the top and bottom oval of the final mintmark punch. This is a Cherrypickers documented die variety with PCGS certifying a total of 32 examples in grades ranging from Good 4 through MS66. Natural coin gray patina is thick on the obverse while the reverse is more lightly toned with some residual luster under a bright light. Surfaces are unabraded and pleasing. This cool die variety is showcased by a strictly original and choice example. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder. | |

MS64 | NGC Fatty 263145006 |
Choice | $500 | Beautiful Type Candidate, Sparkling Luster, Copper-Aquamarine Toning, Near-Gem. Type collectors seeking "the right" Barber quarter should carefully consider this near-gem example. Why? First is the sparkling frosted luster that consistently radiates across the obverse and reverse. Second is the semi-transparent copper colored patina that melts to aquamarine shades when placed under a light source. Unabraded fields further enhance the overall presentation.

PCGS 33042220 |
Choice | $845 | Better Early Date, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Natural Coin Gray.

MS64 | PCGS 11628074 |
Choice | $3150 | Semi-Scarce Date, A Near-Gem, New Orleans Collection. The 1898 New Orleans quarter issue is a semi-scarce date with a limited number of certified example in MS64 or better.

The originality is undeniable with granular frosted luster being pronounced under a bright light. Since the reverse is untoned, the cartwheel action is quite vibrant, though a bit muted on the obverse.

Choice | $595 | Choice Original, Ex. Blackpoint Collection. Consignor Buyout - Price Reduction. Emerald and sea-green patina fills both sides of this Philadelphia piece, along with crusty bits scattered on both sides. The survival of higher-grade business strikes of this era was somewhat a matter of chance, as most collectors of the period preferred to assemble runs of proof examples, which were sold by the Mint for a minimal markup. Conversely, the Mint today views the annual proof set as an opportunity to extract increasing sums from the collecting public. GFRC humbly suggests that classic coins such as the present example might represent a better collecting value. CAC notes 47 pieces in all grades, with a price guide value of $515 in AU55.
