1916 10C BARBER MS67+ PCGS CAC EX LILY NICOLE COLLECTION

Tied For Finest POP 3/0. The 1916 Barber Dime presented here is a remarkable final-year issue that exemplifies top-tier surface preservation and vibrant, original toning—an elite combination seldom encountered.  This is a trophy-level example from the terminal year of the series, offering a rare fusion of Registry-level technical quality, artful toning, and elite preservation. Highly recommended for inclusion in a world-class Barber Dime cabinet, type set, or toning-focused Registry Set where originality and top-pop status are paramount. The obverse radiates with a complex medley of copper-orange, burnt sienna, and deep rose, most vivid at Liberty’s neckline and jaw. This warm palette is dramatically offset by a veil of midnight blue, teal, and plum-violet from 9 to 1 o’clock, where the toning transitions into cooler lavender-silver and icy teal hues, producing a multidimensional, iridescent effect. The fields are velvety and unmarred, yielding a bold cartwheel luster beneath an uninterrupted blanket of original mint frost, while the strike is precise and fully rendered. The reverse shows brilliant pearl-white core encircled by a rich halo of blue-violet, olive-bronze, golden-amber, and rose-magenta. A true Condition Census standout with the last CAC sale for the Simpson example which sold 11 years ago in 2014 for $7,040 12/24 LM. This Barber Dime is a natural fit for a high-end type set, toning-focused cabinet, or advanced Registry Set seeking the finest in color, texture, and preservation.
