CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

The prior owner of this coin tells me it came from an old Philadelphia collection assembled mostly from the 1930's through the 1950's and was kept in a Kraft paper envelope, in an old red cardboard stock box. The obverse has a gun metal blue toning, while the reverse is stunning, with gold turning to orange, to rust at the rims. The 97-S is more limited in terms of of supply, but the 97-O has much more demand. Another R4 coin, and one of the best kept secrets in the Barber dime series. Total PCGS AU population is 20 with 6 in AU 55 and only 4 higher in AU 58.
