Owner's Comments

Outstanding 1890-S Dime, MS66 The Finest Certified by PCGS Ex: Gardner Collection, 2015 1890-S 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Acquired from the Gardner sale in 2015, this exceptional Premium Gem remains one of the finest known representatives of the issue. Fewer than 200 examples of the 1890-S dime have been certified by PCGS and NGC combined across all grades, and Mint State survivors are notably scarce. At the MS66 level, the two major services had certified only a mere eight examples, with none finer. Both sides exhibit frosty, vibrant luster beneath delicate traces of soft lilac toning at the margins. The strike is sharp overall, with only the typical softness seen at Liberty’s head and the reverse bow knot. Carefully preserved and highly attractive, this coin offers outstanding eye appeal and important condition rarity for the Barber dime specialist.
