Lot 460
1892 Barber Dime. PCGS graded Proof 67. Lovely blue toning on both sides. Only 1,245 proofs struck. An untoned Superb Gem with excellent luster and surfaces that are free from even the tiny luster grazes. Struck with meticulous care by the dies, thereby confirming the Superb grade which PCGS has assigned. Mintage in 1892 increased somewhat with the introduction of the new Barber design. Perhaps 300 to 400 more Proofs were sold that would have been the case, but by 1893, levels returned to normal once the novelty had worn off. Pop 11; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 4875) .
Estimated Value $3,100 - 3,200.
