The 1896-S Barber Dime, with a mintage of just 575,056 coins, stands as the second-lowest San Francisco Mint issue in the series—trailing only the elusive 1913-S. This date is a conditionally rare piece in all Mint State levels. The coin is a superbly toned PCGS-certified Gem a POP 1 at MS65+ The obverse displays a vibrant halo of burnt-orange, russet, and golden-bronze hues and the reverse with radiant luster and classic album-style toning in amber-gold and coppery-red hues. Surfaces are smooth, original, and brilliantly preserved, with strong cartwheel luster and a needle-sharp strike. With no recorded PCGS MS65+ sales, it represents a rare opportunity for advanced collectors seeking a top-tier example of this important semi-key San Francisco date.
