This 1909-O Barber Dime, graded PCGS MS66+, is a condition census standout from the final year of coinage at the historic New Orleans Mint and represents one of the finest known survivors of the issue. While over 2.3 million pieces were struck, true Superb Gems with rich, original toning and bold definition are seldom encountered, especially with this degree of visual distinction. This particular example showcases vibrant concentric target toning, with saturated jewel-toned rings of magenta, cobalt, tangerine, and teal encircling a softly lustrous silver center. The reverse is a full spectrum of color, with intense crimson, rose-gold, violet, and plum layered over pristine mint frost. Liberty’s portrait and the wreath are struck with unusually sharp definition for a New Orleans Mint issue, and the surfaces remain undisturbed, with fully intact mint bloom. This coin offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a top-tier final-year type with undeniable visual allure and condition rarity with only 2 finer at CAC. Jeff Ambio in his Barber Dime book writes: “A richly toned 1909-o is a rare coin, as most examples are either fully brilliant or more lightly patinated. Additionally many of the coins that do display deeper colors tend to be peripherally toned…” According to the PCGS Population Report, only seven coins have been graded MS67, with just four finer across all grading events, firmly placing this piece near the top of the condition census.Only two examples have been certified finer with CAC approval. This is a standout for Registry collectors and toned Barber dime enthusiasts alike. A highly significant offering for the advanced Barber dime enthusiast.
